I guess it depends on the distance to the shore. This one hit near land but it's going to take some time to get some reports from that area.

Here is some data on the speed of the last big one.

How long before someone blames this on Obama's being the antichrist, and this is a sign of the end times?

Okay, maybe not. You're clear.


cpttripps: How long does it take for a tsunami to hit after an earthquake, if it's going to?

From Wikipedia page on the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami^:
"In deep ocean water, tsunami waves form only a small hump, barely noticeable and harmless, which generally travels at a very high speed of 500 to 1,000 km/h (310 to 620 mph); in shallow water near coastlines, a tsunami slows down to only tens of kilometres an hour but in doing so forms large destructive waves."

I did not know that.

It aint Dick Cheney.

Crap... my aunt and uncle are in Jakarta because my uncle works for USAID. Looking at the map, they definitely weren't too far from the epicenter.

Why can't we in California have something exciting like an earthshake?

This time I think they'll need more than just extra underwear.

I wonder if Rick Delgado is working on a song.

Can't blame Obama yet- he isn't officially in. It is Bush's fault.

Benny Hill Rocks..
/he saved me from the child napper in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

cpttrip: Depending on the shape of the ocean floor, seismic induced waves travel about as fast as a commercial passenger jet aircraft.

The tsunami warning has been lifted.

MIguy: The tsunami warning has been lifted.

What happened to the "on top of shiat" fark I used to know? Where I found out Carlin died 30 minutes before CNN.com picked the story up?

I'm pretty sure the End Times are coming. Keep your eye out for a giant asteroid hitting the planet soon.

Ok you got firestorms on your hands; take care of that first then you can deal with an earthquake.

FTA: "Like many Indonesians, he goes by only one name."

I learned something new today.

Economically speaking, this is positive for the economy. It converts savings to spending

Holy shiat thats a big quake.

I'm glad they were reporting only the important stuff!

EVERYBODY PANIC!

Don't bet on it. Bush will will give them a blank check until he is out of office. 25B to help out an American auto maker, no way. 25B for Indonesia, no problem. Wait and see, he'll do it.

When has Bush ever had a problem with unlimited foreign spending? Domestic spending is what he has a problem with.

This is why they can't have nice things.

Build a house next to an ocean prone to tsunamis, brilliant bumpkin.

FSM is punishing Indonesia for it's strict new ant-porn law. Take that Allah!

The BIG tsunami that hit much of the Indian Ocean rim was caused by an incredible 9.0+, undersea quake. I simply cannot imagine the devastation that a quake of this magnitude would have caused had it been land-based.

Any porn is for pedos. Bee porn is where it's at

I know! Who doesn't like to watch one of those super close up National Geographic "biology" shows. Amirite?

Wow, that's heavy shakin'

Those poor folks just can't seem to catch a break.

Yeah, Bush is a bleeding heart do-gooder

Does God no longer hate Indonesia?


/glad there was no tsunami

FTFA: But Fauzi, an official with Indonesia's geological agency, later said the threat had passed.




Nice to know he's found work after the Muppet movies tanked.

Well that sucks. Maybe L.L. Bean should send them some kayaks.

I think you're much too knew to remember those days.

And after the 7.7, a 6.0 hit there too.

Was everyone voted off the island?
