There was an 8.8 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Chili. Which has lead to a tsunami warning for the entire Pacific coast - including Hawaii, Australia, NZ, Russia, & Japan. They will be sounding warning alarms soon in Hawaii.
I know we have a few ladies that post here, that live in some of these locations. Lets keep them in our thoughts!

Re: NBR : Earthquake
My aunt lives on Oahu also, so my mom called her a bit ago. I've got CNN on and they were showing the Wal-Mart on Oahu and people stocking up. How close to the coast are you?
They had said the same thing on CNN as you, that they are expecting the BI to get it the worst - by the volcano park. So scary.
Thoughts are definatly with you. Hawaii is my favorite place in the world - we're headed there in October - BI and Maui (4th trip in 4 years!). Keep us updated, if you can or when its over. I'd like to hear about it, if you are willing to share.
Heck noes! I'm right here on Fort Hase beach. LOL there is maybe a couple houses separating our house from the beach.
