M8.0 Santa Cruz Islands

Here we go.

My thoughts exactly. Based on the past week or so of quakes in this region, I'm half expecting a 7+ quake on the Western edge of Indonesia in the next couple hours.

expertologists rule!

news still busy with agenda

Does this sound harmless??

Magnitude 8 Quake Strikes Off Santa Cruz Islands

"A tsunami warning was issued for areas in the Pacific including Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea, while a tsunami watch was in effect for other areas including Marshall Islands and Samoa, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said.

It added the earthquake has the potential to generate a "destructive tsunami."

So if this is measuring 3 feet right now in height in the deep ocean it could be a wave 36 feet high when it reaches shore?

Not seeing M7.0 - link?

6.8

Wow!!!!!!

make sense, but depth of water at buoy will skew the data- ie. if it a wave height is read in 100 feet of water and is 1 meter, when it hits a reef at 20 feet it will be 5 times larger (I think its just a direct ratio). So buoy will give us a height, it really won't be that useful, what will be useful is the period (stregnth/ thickness) of the wave, that is more telling than height. A 20 ft wave at 5 sec is nothing compared to a 5 foot wave at 20 sec.
