Earthquake in Chile, Tsunami caused

[Mark]

I just saw this on the news. Chile been hit by a 8.5 earthquake causing a big Tsunami to spread out to sea, travelling at 600mph. Death toll isn't reported to be high in Chile, but the Tsunami is causing loads of places to be evacuted in the South East.

Omg!

[InOne]

Damnnn, mother earth is not a happy bunny!!!

[Tom4784]

Well thank god we haven't got another Haiti on our hands in Chille but let's hope that the evacuation goes well in other places.

8.5's quite a large earthquake, I wonder how badly affected Chille is, let's hope they were lucky.

[Ninastar]

I dont get it? Do the lines that say 15 hr 21 hr etc mean they are gunna get hit?

[30stone]

No its going to hit chilie it says i think so like the 3 hour thing i think that means when the waves are there, theres only 3 hours until they hit.

Oh right, i get it now. Thanks ben. God i would hate that feeling.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

This earthquake generated 600x more energy than Haiti!

but it was deeper and not near major population areas.

Good grief, I guess it could have been a lot worse but still it's gonna affect Chille for a while. :sad:

[30stone]

Well it initially didnt kill to many people, but without getting people evacuated 3metre waves that would last possibly for days.

Could do major damage.


The earthquake took out a few buildings and that must have been very dangerous.

[30stone]

Anyone else find it weird looking at a world map like that so that america is on the right and australlia on the left?

[James]

It looks really bad from the pictures.

It's about the 5th most powerful earthquake in recorded history - http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/world/10_largest_world.php

Hawaii is expecting the tsunami waves in about 5 hours.

Let's hope for the best, considering how powerful the quake was Chile was lucky. Let's hope that luck affects the countries in the Tsunami's path.

[30stone]

Is that what the waves are meant to look like?

[Scarlett.]

Thank god there has been warnings things could have been a lot worse

[Sophii3x]

Oh god, that's awful! :( Must be so scary for those awaiting the tsunami too!

[ILoveTRW]

I remember reading this on wiki a while back about the 1960 Chilean earthquake

Human sacrifice

A book by investigative journalist Patrick Tierney, The Highest Altar: Unveiling the Mystery of Human Sacrifice (1989) ISBN 9780140139747 , documents a possible modern ritual human sacrifice during the devastating earthquake and tsunami of 1960 by a machi of the Mapuche in the Lago Budi community. The victim, 5 year old José Luis Painecur, had his arms and legs removed by Juan Pañán and Juan José Painecur (the victims grandfather), and was stuck into the sand of the beach like a stake. The waters of the Pacific Ocean then carried the body out to sea. The sacrifice was rumored to be at the behest of local machi, Juana Namuncurá Añen. The 2 men were charged with the crime and confessed, but later recanted. They were released after 2 years. A judge ruled that those involved in these events had "acted without free will, driven by an irresistible natural force of ancestral tradition." The story is also mentioned in a Time Magazine article from that year, although with much less detail.

Shocking stuff

[Stacey.]

omg, terrible :(

[arista]

Sure but they can not tell how bad it can be.


At least they know they have to move away from the coast
and talking Live they seem relaxed and ready.

[arista]

SkyNews just confirmed
Tsunami has hit NZ.

[Twilight]

It hit new Zealand? !

[InOne]

Wow :S

On SkyNews they just showed the
Massive area - The Whole of the Pacific
can be attacked.
It could even hit USA.

[sooty]

The waves, 1960 Chilian Earthquake (9.5) reached Japan in 22 hours.

I had a relative lived in a small fishermen's village called Shizugawa.
It had beautiful pine trees beach. I used to visit there when I was little, picked pink shells and played.
The village was part of coast attacked by the Tsunami and many people died.

Then this was 50 years ago.
Now all nations of Pacific Ocean must be well informed and well prepared for it.

President Obama said on TV,"We can not control nature, but we can and must be preapared for disaster when it strikes."

[MarkWaldorf]

Has it hit Hawaii yet?

[Tom]

Another stream here: http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/99999999/MOGULUS02/399990001&template=mogulus

Think the wave will hit this stream at ~9:20, not 100% sure on that though

[Tom]

It won't cause much damage in Hawaii, Hawaii is a giant mountain and the wave is 3 metres

[30stone]

How close is Hawaii to Australia? The waves are going toward hawaii, australlia is much much farther south and in the opposite direction.

Done.

[GypsyGoth]

Which is the best stream? Don't know

How big will the waves be? Not sure

It won't do anything to Hawaii anyway because its just a mountain. It will crash into the side and take out anything on the coast etc but not much more than that

[GypsyGoth]

[30stone]

I dont think there is going to be some big hit...


It will be how long the waves last, they are apparently means to last over a day.

[Loukas]

[Shasown]

The effect so far on Hawaii has been negligible however thats not to say there wont be a further higher surge in the hawaii area.

The models they use to forecast tsunamis are notoriously inaccurate, there are many factors that can affect the sea at the time of the energy transfer, temperature, tidal flows, water depth, etc.

Tsunamis can appear to bypass areas and then hit somewhere else down stream even harder.

Tsunamis are not a weather phenomenon they are caused by a displacemment of water due to a transfer of energy; landslide, volcanic activity or earthquake. If a tidal surge was due to atmospheric conditions (weather) it would be called a meteotsunami
