Chilean Earthquake Tsunami Travel Time Estimates
The NOAA's National Weather Service has provided the following analysis to estimate the anticipated hit times from the time of impact of the Chilean earthquake (3:34 am local Chile time, 2:34 am Eastern). According to this estimate, California will feel any residual Tsunami waves within the next 2 hours, Hawaii has about 4 hours to prepare, while New Zealand - a little less. For those seeking frequent updates, we recommend the following Hawaii Tsunami Information website.

They are saying 8.8?
Holy crap!
SF 1906 was 7.7 to 7.9, some say as high as 8.3
Kobe was 7.2
The Sumatra was 9.3 and the most powerful in last century was also in Chile in 1960, measuring 9.5.
The energy released by the Hiroshima bomb was 5.0.

It's big, but apparently it was also deep underground, unlike at Haiti which was pretty shallow.

Never let a good crisis go to waste. If someone wanted to cause widespread destruction, blowing up the Antarctic ice shelf would probably be a good place to start. Michael Crichton wrote about it in State of Fear.

nicola tesla caused a small earthquake, with a device, which would fit in his coat pocket. some of his patents, are still classified, this is not conspiracy theory, it is historical fact.

it's definitely not unplausable for HAARP to be used for such means, it is after all a military installation.
Haiti has alot of oil, afghanistan has alot of copper and chile has 1/4 of the world's copper?

2012 on utube could freak a person out.
gravity sucks and our universe rotates
Our universe is on the outside edge of the galaxy whitsh has at its center a blackhole of immense proportion.
We are in a 25,000 year loop (known civilization 8,000years). Its that time again and the bible has references to 7 year tribulation.
So i think 2012 is the high point, but it has already begun 3 1/2 years before and will simply have more effects until 2012 and then subside.
It would explain why ice is now melting on mars and Venus is supposedly hotter.
It might explain also why our leadership cares less about how obvious the thievery has become.
Fear not, we are all destined to leave our bodies at some point.
The trick is to find the real life , bejond the body, to strenghten the awareness that is the real you , so that when you leave the material world you will keep the identity you are.
It is not so easy to explain, but having seen some of the other side , I know for myself i wish to be strong in the force and not be as lost on the other side as i was here.
Believing in something is insufficient
Knowing via experience is what its all about.
And it takes a bunch of living and dying to get
it done.

I think you meant "our solar system" instead of "our universe". There is a blackhole in the middle of all galaxies... this is not special to milky way.

"Fear not, we are all destined to leave our bodies at some point." Thanks for the reassurance! Tsunami was only 1m when it hit NZ. Wonder how many Kiwis surfed it...

I live on the East Coast of the North Island of NZ, about 30m from the Pacific.
Tsunami was several small surges, much like the tide rising by maybe a metre and then receding again, taking about 5-10 mins each way. If you weren't watching for it, it would not have been noticeable.
There were a number of surfers out, riding a clean 2ft windswell.
I like it a little bigger myself.

...set to hit SF area at about 1:30 local time, although amplitude is only expected to be about .2 meters.
Pismo beach, on the other hand...1.4 meters. Santa Monica and Malibu both over a meter as well.
I have read that supplies of bottled water and gasoline are running low on Hawai'i now.

I watching watching the Hawaii News this morning and saw all the people lined up at 5am to get food and water. They had a 2 limit purchase on Spam and was thinking to myself..wow this occurring DAILY around the entire nation would be one hell of a sight. Some ammo with my 2 cans please.

Now California has a good excuse to ask for an assistance of at least $50B.
PS
It is incredible that in just 60 years we are able to observe the rise and the fall of American empire. British lasted centuries, Soviet lasted 85 years.
On a positive note, the Nazi Reich lasted just 12 years but it had too many natural enemies like the USA, British and Soviet empires. A strong Germany in the center of Europe was the reason for the WWI when Britain and France tried to destroyed emerging strong Germany and Russia colliding them against each other.

From Goldman:
We expect the Tsunami to come in better then expected, on a seasonally adjusted basis, at 3-4 feet. Excluding for one time charges, waves could actually beat consensus by 1 foot as cost cutting on the shoreline will leave less damage. On balance, a great earnings release.

The tesla earthquake machine

"Tesla said finally the structure began to creak and weave and the steel-workers came to the ground panic-stricken, believing that there had been an earthquake. Police were called out. Tesla put the vibrator in his pocket and went away. Ten minutes more and he could have laid the building in the street. And, with the same vibrator he could have dropped the Brooklyn Bridge into the East River in less than an hour.
Tesla claimed the device, properly modified, could be used to map underground deposits of oil. A vibration sent through the earth returns an "echo signature" using the same principle as sonar. This idea was actually adapted for use by the petroleum industry..."

10 Years ago only a few Discovery Channel watchers knew what a Tsunami was, today we're all experts. On every earthquake with a seizmic center in an ocean there's a Tsunami-alert.
Spreading fear has always been a good way to control the sheeple and the US floats on fear.
