Boats in harbors, estuaries or shallow coastal water should return to shore. Secure your boat and move away from the waterfront. Boats already at sea during this period should stay offshore in deep waters until further advised.

Hawaii warns of possible tsunami

After the 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Chile, every nation in the Pacific Rim is now on a threatened alert of a possible deadly tsunami. Hawaii now alerts everyone in it's country to be prepared. They now have the highest alert level, people living near the coastal area were being evacuated. Hilo International Airport which is located along the coast was also closed. Same warning goes with Countries like Guam and Samoa. In our country, the Philvolcs issued a low-level alert ordering people to wait further notice of a possible tsunami.
A tsunami during the 1960's happened after a quake with a magnitude of 9.5 also struck Chile, affected Japan, Hawaii and The Philippines.

A moment of silence for CHILE

Today, Feb. 28, 2010, Talca, Chile experienced a very devastating earthquake. A magnitude of 8.8 quake struck the country early Saturday which resulted to toppling homes, collapsed buildings and bridges and also threatened a tsunami to every nation around the Pacific Ocean, which includes our country aswell.

It was said that this earthquake in Chile is 10x more powerful than what Haiti have just experienced.

Let us all pray for the people in Chile. Let us all pray that tsunami will not struck any nation. Let us pray for everyone's safety.

God bless us all.
