Chile is still getting hammered

Holly, I have never seen anything like it.

The world is coming apart at the seams...

I haven't either MW. It's nonstop and they aren't small.

I like the Brandon Merrill pics MW

Fox News said it would hit California at around 3 am Thursday. What time would that be Eastern Standard?

Me, too.

I am going to see if I can find anything else.

It's not as bad as it looks because RSOE lists one quake multiple times, usually twice or more.
ESMC is the European network that lists quake data from the USGS network and RSOE lists both USGS and ESMC quakes so you get duplicates. Remove half of those aftershocks and you will get the real picture.

it would be 6 est

Hey Holly!

Yeah, the Chile quakes are off-the-charts.
I don't think we are going to see this settle down
for a long time.

Thanks for the "heads-up"

Holly, it looks like another earthquake has hit this morning.

Then the Cali coast will get the worst at 6 am this morning. People need to know that.

The center estimated that the effects from the tsunami would arrive in Hawaii about 3 a.m. (6 a.m. PDT) Thursday.

A similar advisory was issued for southern and central California.

That advisory affects about 300 miles of coastline stretching from the southern end of Orange County to most of San Luis Obispo County on the central coast.

The possible changes associated with the advisory are expected to hit first in the south at about 4:45 a.m. PDT Thursday and move north in the minutes that follow.

It is coming down on the Cali coast soon...Hawaii, too.

Hi OC. They are nuts and I know RSOE sometimes has doubles but they remove them eventually. I know I watched it after Peru had the big quake and theirs were doubled too. It still looked nothing like this.

Thank OC!

There's a 3 hour difference with Cali being 3 hours earlier. Is that what you were asking? It's late and I'm delirious.

Yep.

Do you want me to pin this, or are you going to bed?

I'm going to sleep here soon but you and OC can take over if you want to. You two come up with awesome information!

Rapid fire aftershocks?

6.4
6.3
6.2

I think Mama Earth is sick of us and about to barf us off.

It looks that way to me.

There is so much happening right now...it almost makes one want to put their head in a hole.

This is from a hour ago.

The US' National Tsunami Warning Center has issued an alert for several miles along the western state's coast line, running from San Onofre in San Clemente - about 55 miles north of San Diego - to Ragged Point, which is about 50 miles north of San Luis Obispo.

The tsunami is expected to hit between 4:46am local time, travelling down to LA within one minute. It will then travel down to Santa Barbara by 5:06am and reach Port San Luis just four minutes later. The warning zone in California (Source: National Tsunami Warning Center)

However weather forecasters are not predicting that the tsunami will be severe, and a "widespread inundation of land is not expected".

One hour from now. I would expect the danger to only be on south-facing beaches.

One million people have been evacuated in Chile after a powerful earthquake hit the country's central region.

At least five people died when the 8.3-magnitude quake hit at 19:54 local time (22:54 GMT).

A tsunami alert was originally issued for the entire Chilean coast but has been partly lifted since.

Chile's deputy interior minister said it was the sixth most powerful quake to hit the country. Seismologists have reported dozens of aftershocks.
