So I wake up this morning, and me, worried about the chance of a flooded basement, turn on the Weather Channel on TV. There I first hear about the chance of a Tsunami resulting from a significant (M8.9) quake in Honshu, Japan. So I quickly flip to other channels on the tube and find CNN has gone to commercial and I won't even bother with the local stations since I am sure they are reporting on the flooding.
I turn on my laptop to get some web info.

and then, in anticipation of the waves I 'googled' hawaii cams to see if I could some live action of what was predicted to occur in minutes.
All during this, the Weather Channel gave the most (sensational) coverage. I guess I could have changed to Fox News for that.
(now, one hour later 9:15 EST, the other news networks are getting on the bandwagon) So I need to soften my critique of the weather channel. good work Stephanie!
In any case, you may want to stay clear of the area until things get back to normal. And my thoughts go out to people impacted by this disaster.
