Tsunami Hitting Hawaii Due to Chile Earthquake

Earlier today a huge 8.8 earthquake hit Chile in the area of Santiago, causing devastating damage to that area and spawning tsunamis.  A huge tsunami will be hitting Hawaii within a short time and with all the world watching.  All webcams in Hawaii are being inundated with many servers going down.

The wave headed towards Hawaii is said to be traveling at 500 miles per hour.  Sirens are blaring warning tourists and residents alike to move to higher ground.  Gas stations are jammed with people scrambling to get gas quickly and get on their way.

This recent earthquake in Chile is being compared to the 2004 earthquake that hit the Indian Ocean and spawned the catastrophic tsunami where more than 100,000 people were killed.
