Don't bite, it's just KFH. If you must argue it with him, take it outside this thread and elsewhere.

Wish her a happy birthday from a random English bloke, regardless of what has happened today. Thanks.

Besides, I remember few years ago hearing that Japan was due for a Kobe-scale earthquake. This was during the same time where I heard that the super volcano in Yellowstone Park is due for an eruption soon. 2012 anyone? @BBCBreaking via Twitter said: 2059 GMT: The tsunami is still fanning out across the Pacific Ocean and is due to hit the Chilean territory of Easter Island within the next few hours. The BBC's Gideon Long in Santiago says the authorities on Easter Island have already started evacuating people from the coast to the airport, which is 45m above sea level and should provide a safe haven. All civilian flights to the island have been cancelled. The tsunami is expected to hit at just before 1800 local time (2300 GMT), having travelled 14,000km across the ocean. Cerberus.Kalyna said: This was during the same time where I heard that the super volcano in Yellowstone Park is due for an eruption soon. 2012 anyone? Overdue actually.. They happen about every 590-600 thousand years. It's now been 650 thousand or so. It's amazing to me that a Tsunami can travel so far and still have any force left.. EDITED to correct the years <_< @BBCBreaking via Twitter said: 2101 GMT: Our correspondent adds: "From there, the waves will roll on towards the Chilean coast, making landfall at about midnight local time (0300 GMT on Saturday). Some patients have been moved from low-lying hospitals and there are plans to evacuate thousands of people from the coast if necessary. The waves should have lost much of their intensity by the time they reach Chile - one expert has predicted they will be no more than 1m higher than normal. But with memories of last year's devastating earthquake and tsunamis still fresh in Chilean minds, the authorities are erring on the side of caution."

I'm going to keep the thread updated for another hour, then leave it at that. Was mainly doing it for those at work.
@BBCBreaking via Twitter said: 2107 GMT: The tsunami swept out to sea at least five people watching the waves from the US West Coast.

It buckled like a graham cracker." @BBCBreaking via Twitter said: 2112 GMT: Tidal surges in the Hawaiian island chain were not much higher than normal, officials there said.
