wonder what will happen when it reaches storm sarah

Thanks for posting about this.


Would you also keep an eye out for updates???

This situation... all the earthquakes, tsunamis, just bad. I feel for the people caught in the middle of these disasters.

This does confirm that our scientists are downplaying this event, seemingly trying to go with "normal" standards. While it's nice to not have a panic environment surrounding an event like this, if the scientists are wrong they need to reevaluate their logic as it's based of previous analysis of events and not necessarily indicative of a perfect storm of events. I'm sure if they are wrong though they will be able to explain their new theory.

I have family in Ecuador who work in local government in Esmereldas on the coast and they have told him that the worst of the tsunami now has passed.
That was 4 hours ago.
Anyone know anything more of the situation.

I dont think this "the worst has passed" rings true.

None of this has hit main stream media yet. Bit wierd I say.
