[/quote] Yes, I'm sure. Just checked again - http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/ - It takes a specific type of quake to cause a tsunami. Subduction quakes are the tsunami causing quakes. They make drastic changes to the sea floor. When the sea floor changes the water has to go somewhere. When there's a slip/strike quake where plates slide against each other, rather than move up and down, it does not alter the water column nearly as much or at all, therefore, no water is displaced, hence no tsunami. The other thing is that the sea this quake originated in is relatively shallow, so there's not as much water to be displaced in the first place as there would if it occurred in the deep ocean. The tsunami alert was issued regardless, due to the size of the quake, and after what happened in 2004 the officials are taking no chances. [b]If no buoys are in event mode, say in the next hour, I bet they cancel the tsunami alert.[/b] [/quote] [/quote]

I accidentally deleted the OP of this thread during some glitch issues on GLP this morning (10/30/17).
I will be posting some useful links in the next post to make it easier for those posting so you don't have to scroll through a massive OP. :)
I had to delete the first two comments on this thread to do so, but wanted to keep them so I've put them below.
5* and I'm on board.. Simple.. I'm sorry about CH.. He will be missed greatly..

Thank you!!! Simple... I will be here.....

I also would like to mention that I know this thread has MANY pages and that it can be somewhat intimidating to join/chime in on a long standing thread as a new member/AC (I've experienced it when I first joined GLP), but we are a VERY welcoming group to those who newly join us. We are a small family of sorts who are all mostly interested in the same earth-related topics (quakes/solar/volcanoes/weather/etc.) and share info on each of those topics as well as 'off-topic' discussions. We genuinely care for one another here and even when we do not agree with each other, we ALWAYS respect each other.
I truly enjoy when new folks join us here. All that I ask is to show respect. :)
