Jeus...that 7.2 one in Japan that destroyed Ebisu circuit in japan was insane, I can't imagine what an 8.0 would be like

They have been becoming more frequent but there were definitely some major tsunamis in the 2000s lol, I remember one particular bad one happening my senior year in HS so around 2007/2008

warnings have been getting more frequent, but i don't think there are any more tsunami than usual. we've definitely been over cautious since the one decimated the indian ocean coastlines.

any pictures of damage yet? I assume it has to be just devastating.

also American Samoa has, at least according to 10 seconds on google, only 4 covid cases so far. Hopefully they don't exacerbate this all with the relief efforts.

Could you imagine trying to co-ordinate an evacuation while keeping people COVID safe. Those people deserve a medal

I think coordinate in this case amounts to, "Grab your mask and fucking run!"

8.0 is a significantly big one, right?

but yea, that's really scary, and while I'm expecting a lot of damage, hopefully the loss of lives is really low (hopefully none at all).

https://weather.com/news/news/2021-03-04-tsunami-alerts-american-samoa-hawaii-major-earthquake-near-new-zealand

There is a threat of sea-level fluctuations and strong ocean currents that could be a hazard along beaches, in harbors and in coast waters of American Samoa, the center said. The earliest a tsunami could reach American Samoa would be at 10:19 a.m. Thursday (4:19 p.m. EST).

It's go time.

A lot of people in my city (Napier, New Zealand) evacuated to the hills - I had just got home from working nightshift when the quake hit, def a decent shake. My bloody wine got knocked off the shelf! Drama.

apparently some waves starting to hit Tonga, but the fact that it's not major breaking news eases some worries. still, stay safe and vigilant coastal peeps.
