A tsunami is heading toward Hawaii! The sirens are blaring as I type this. The tsunami was created after a 8.8 earthquake hit Chile. Hawaiians better be prepared, this will reach as far as Japan and Australia.

This is a very disturbing set of news! I say this because Puerto Rico is the PERFECT victim for tsunamis and earthquakes and ever since Haiti the whole island has been creating drills and emergency plans in the event of an earthquake. It's been decades since we have been hit by an earthquake and thus we are severely worried about it.

Anyways, I'll be praying extra hard for all those people and hope they get back to normal soon.

Well, now the tsunami thankfully wasn't the big one everyone feared. The water did recede and the waves did come, but they weren't big enough to cause flooding. Hawaii got lucky.

All the Tsunami warnings have been canceled except for Japan. That is good news for the US, but possible bad news for Japan!!!
