There's a tsunami coming...

Re: There's a tsunami coming...

Assuming you're referring to that 7.7 quake that happened off the BC coast a few days ago, there really shouldn't be too much of a tsunami, considering that the earthquake was caused by horizontal strike-slip fault movements. It's when water is displaced by vertical fault movements that big tsunamis occur.

Did everything go ok for you?

Re: There's a tsunami coming...

Update: There were no reported injuries or major property damage. The tsunami warning was downgraded to an advisory. I'm not sure if the advisory has been cleared, but it basically means people can be relatively close to the shore, but they should still be cautious about being in the water, something about how the water still acts funky after a tsunami.

oh god I died.

Aside from the fact that you're more worried about letting FFR know about the Tsunami than actually finding some ways irl to avoid it..

Piplups are Water types and can surf anything. Surf the fukken wave dood. (^)>

edit: oh wait the Tsunami is LongGone. /kill thread

Well, I'm pretty far inland so I didn't have much to worry about concerning my own safety. Because of that, I was too far in-land and lazy to get to shore and surf the wave...I can't use fly ;~;

Hopefully no one gets majorly hurt. Stay safe!



i have a stupid grin on my face

Thanks for your hopes Everything turned out fine. Also, it's ok, I had a stupid grin as well, even in the midst of the situation >.<

Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us bmah! Still though, it's always best to take any situation like this seriously and to properly prepare.
