  2. I just read that the sirens in Hawaii are going off because of this earth quake. They are asking people to move away from the water. They are expecting the first waves to hit there at about 4pm EST.

  5. Chile is a country -- chili is what you eat, moron.

    You have never been involved in an earthquake, obviously. It is the most terrifying experience you'll ever know. I was in Santa Monica during the northridge quake and buildings were flattened, freeways were down, and the aftershocks were unnerving. Have a heart.
