Quote
A powerful magnitude-8.2 earthquake struck in the Pacific off Chile's northern region on Tuesday, leading authorities to order an evacuation before an expected tsunami. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

Chile's national emergency office said there were initial reports of landslides partially blocking some roads and highways, and it called for the "preventive evacuation" of the country's northern coastline, Reuters reported.

They had a 6.7 a couple of weeks ago.

There is a tsunami watch for the Western U.S. Coast and Hawaii.

I live right on the tsunami escape route for my area.

If you see bison making a run for it, you had better follow them.

If they're trying to escape from Yellowstone, the tsunami will get 'em.

Kinda makes you want to forget about retiring to a South American country with earthquakes on one side and hurricanes on the other side. If a disaster hits those areas, you are much better off in the good old USA
