plus the wave can be like half a mile long or something like that, forget what the length of the indonesian ones were. so it just keeps coming for a long time.

I believe the Bible also mentions "earthquakes in diverse places" as a sign as well.

Have you ever noticed how many earthquakes happen on average every year? This year is nothing special.

If the U.S. wants to play cops and robbers on the global scale, then the world is going to expect our help when something goes wrong.

Maybe we should just keep to ourselves and stay out of everyone's shit and people won't expect us to be the saving grace....

I agree with you Lad, others won't view it that way though.

I'm torn on this issue. But we are speaking English and not German.

Yikes for me...
Shelley and Urban Meyer were evacuated out of their Hawaiian hotel this morning to higher ground. They were on the way back this evening anyway. 'Pretty much nothing but a few big waves came in, strange ending to a great trip' is what Shelley said.

Surprised this isnt on espn.com front page. Oh wait, it probably will be later. Hundreds die in Chile, but Urban being evacuated from his 5 star hotel is much more important!!

There is no doubt in my mind that this will be on ESPN
