They said it's the biggest in decades.

They said the earthquake has been upgraded to an 8.9! Also Hawaii is under a tsunami *warning.* First wave expected at 2:59 Hawaii time.

Amazing to see the aerial footage. I can't imagine the loss of life, property and the destruction that will be realized in the days to come. Let's hope another Tsumani doesn't evolve from this.

In Hawaii they're evacuating low lying areas. A "possable" 3 meter Tsunami there! Damn, that's about 8 feet!

Crap. Like we didn't get enough water with all the rain the last couple of months without the Pacific throwing up on us, too... sheesh!

They also just said here that this is expected to be way bigger than the one in New Zealand

Status: offline 		I saw footage of the hit on Hawaii, it went further inland than they had thought but wasn't the height expected either.  So in a way, they got off lucky. 

This was stronger than the Christchurch earthquake, and Japan hasn't been hit by an earthquake this strong in over 140 yrs.  Then it was a 9.5.

so many lives just so obliterated in minutes, not just death but total devastation.
Horrible but in the same instance, fascinating to see how it happens
