Hawaii Earthquake And Tsunami 2010
Written by Edhitok on February 28, 2010 – 12:56 am -An earthquake of an 8.8 magnitude hit Chile on Saturday morning and it caused massive damage, also there have been reported 140 deaths so far. Unfortunately, the disasters will not end here, because a tsunami warning has been sent, which might be caused by the tsunami.
The tsunami is being forecasted for Hawaii and the Pacific Ocean. A Tsunami is a massive tidal wave, which can hit many areas at a time within its reach, then send on a devastating after effects all over. Tsunami’s can cause properties to be blown over, killed people, while the economy suffers damage following a tsunami.
The earthquake in Chile has destroyed a lot of buildings, hospitals, and schools, and a lot of people don’t have where to live right now.
The Hawaii sirens started sounding as of 11 a.m. this morning and people now have to get to higher ground and everyone must evacuate the coast, if the unfortunate happens and atsunami actually strikes. Officials announced they are hoping a large series of waves will hit and not an actual tsunami, which might be much better. The waves might be large, though they will definitely not cause as much damage as the tsunami.
Everyone is now concerned and not only the people from Hawaii, but also from the other countries that might get hit by the same tsunami.
