Reported, well everywhere, a massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake in Chile has sent a tsunami towards Hawaii and other areas of the Pacific. FOXNews:
President Michele Bachelet declared a state of catastrophe in central Chile after a massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck early Saturday.Updates as details are published.The most powerful quake to hit the country in a half century cut electricity, water and phone lines to many areas, meaning there was no word of death or damage from many outlying areas.
...
A tsunami set off by the quake threatened every nation around the Pacific Ocean -- roughly a quarter of the globe. Warnings were issued over a wide area, including South America, Hawaii, Australia and New Zealand, Japan, the Philippines, Russia and many Pacific islands.

There are countless people standing on little hills, right on beaches in Hawaii, waiting to SEE the tidal wave!!! I certainly don't claim to be a genius but...you have to be kidding me!! If a true tidal wave should hit, their bodies won't be found for days, perhaps weeks.

We expect a less than one foot wave here in half an hour. Significant Darwinian activity expected as the tide is going out, and though there may not be a "Big Wave" there will be all sorts of unusual eddies, undertows and increases in currents. As well as VERY STUPID people here, plus its a weekend and its the Fisher Poets weekend. The Columbia Bar should be very interesting - going to see if I can find a good vantage point from the top of our hill here (at over 350 feet ASL I think we'll be OK).

Chavez never said that US caused the Earthquake in Haiti. It was ABC Spaniard newspaper that said so based on article published on a Venezuelan blog.
Don't keep feeding your bitterness against Hugo Chavez, that would never help you chaps to understand, maybe you would never bother anyway, but we all must be alert is in which way we might help the Haitian and Chilean, without invade them.
