Here's a good resource to see what's shaking.

Still plenty of action in Kamchatka.

My friend who lives in the red tsunami zone in Kailua did not evacuate. His wife was in a panic so he loaded the car with important papers and valuables and sent her to a friend's house up the hill.

He stayed home and watched the news.  He figured if he saw a big wave hit Kauai which is about 103 miles from Oahu, he could jump on his bicycle and in 7 minutes be in the safe zone.

Makes perfect sense when you think about it.  It will take a wave traveling 500 mph a little over 10 minutes to get from Kauai to Oahu.

I'm still looking on Amazon or EBay, etc. to see if there are any looter's body bags available to buy. ;)
