Title: Tsunami Bulletin
Post by: ABC7 on September 29, 2009, 07:16:28 PM
A magnitude-8 earthquake in Pacific could give way to a tsunami. On TWC, there was a bulletin for my area, but it doesn't seem like it is a major emergency. Here (http://"http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2009967964_apcapacificquakewestcoast1stld.html") is a link to a Seattle Times article.

Yeah, I heard they issued tsunami warnings for both California and Oregon. That was one huge earthquake that occurred.

If the tsunami were to be a real threat, we would've known about it sooner and the media would cover it deeper.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that. I did see the red tsunami scroll on the IS last night... Didn't record it though. :(
