Dude.

Oh my dear lord. What a tragedy.

One reporter said the quake lasted three minutes.

WOW, and a 7.0 one yesterday in Okinawa!

How horrible....it doesn't sound like it hit in an overpopulated area like the one in Haiti, thank goodness.....the tsunami alarms are going to go off at 6:00 a.m. local time in Hawaii, and people have 5 hours to evacuate and/or go to higher ground....They said these waves will be the biggest to hit the islands since 1960...also caused by an earthquake in Chile.....

Already reported 85 dead in Chile. I was going to put about the tsunami warning for Hawaii, but I see it is here.

Everyone describes it as a truck or train rumbling by your house.
I just am stunned by a three minute earthquake.

Reading that sentence took 7 seconds?

sit down and take a timer to three minutes.

It's an eternity.
