      Peru has just issued a tsunami watch now as well. Not surprisingly.

          That one meter wave spike has grown to twenty meters. This is going to be a real one...

            That's a 61ft wave for the Americans. Pretty epic. People are going to notice that.

                        They don't look that elevated to me.. .are they not expecting more than a 50 ft wave? Even that would seemingly be high enough to get them from the picture.

                          I didn't realize earthquakes were this common. There were 87 yesterday along around the world.

                          This is an interesting map

                          And a new earthquake just popped on in Taiwan while I was looking at the map.

                            I subscribe to a twitter feed for Japanese earthquakes. They happen all the time just there.

                              @scottalanmiller I am really quite confused as to why these people are so close to the shore line.

                              Their elevation does appear to be high enough, but it's a shore line. If a big enough wave comes in everything there would be gone.

                                61ft was measured at sea which means far larger could hit land. They were expecting potentially quite a lot of water. Ended up not hitting 20ft at landfall, though. But you have to get to much higher ground than the height of the tsunami for safety.

                                  Exactly, which is why I was confused all those people were so close to the coast. 😞

                                    While I was in Panama they had, at the BioMuseo, a live map of just the region showing the earthquakes that had happened in the last two weeks (live updating.) You could see a hundred or so regional quakes. We had several, including a 5.9, while we were there.

                                      Deputies were serving felony warrants when Nickole Dykema lunged at an officer with a sword or machete, then fled into a room with about 500 bladed weapons and fake severed limbs, police said.

                                        As you already asked.. news worthy why? At least it wasn't full of guns, then we'd have another presidential debate just over that - ha!
