Chile Earthquake Threatens Tsunami

Posted on | February 27, 2010 | 4 Comments

Associated Press:

TALCA, Chile – A devastating earthquake struck Chile early Saturday, toppling homes, collapsing bridges and plunging trucks into the fractured earth. A tsunami set off by the magnitude-8.8 quake threatened every nation around the Pacific Ocean — roughly a quarter of the globe. . . .
The quake shook buildings in Argentina’s capital of Buenos Aires, and was felt as far away as Sao Paulo in Brazil — 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) to the east. . . .
Experts warned that a tsunami could strike anywhere in the Pacific. Emergency officials set off shrieking alarm sirens across parts of Hawaii, which could face its largest waves since 1964 starting at 11:19 a.m. (4:19 p.m. EST, 2119 GMT), according to Charles McCreery, director of the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. . . .

Twenty bucks says that if there is a tsunami, some liberal idiot will blame global warming, as Eve Ensler and Joy Behar did. Or perhaps even the earthquake itself will be blamed on global warming, as Danny Glover did.

    There’s a good reason I didn’t take that bet.
