Hawaii Death Watch 2010 is interesting.

[Drunken Irishman]

It reminds me of an old skit from MAD TV where the news would freak out about the most basic conditions. KILLER BEES!

Not that this isn't important. But they're making it sound like we're counting down the final minutes of our 50th state.

[babylonsister]

But the tsunami is expected...AT ANY MOMENT!

I hear you; it's like waiting for a car or plane crash. Whatever will they say or do if nothing happens, which I hope is the case.

[crew doyle]

4. How many hours can they string out the suspense?

...

[malaise]

5. Any moment for the last

46 moments. :rofl:

[crew doyle]

1. Same thing happens when a truck carrying sodium chloride crashes and they dispatch the HAZMAT

people to deal with the nearly-global emergency.

[Fumesucker]

15. Just imagine the panic if it were a sodium chloride truck and a dihydrogen monoxide truck..

The combination of those two chemicals has killed thousands upon thousands of people..

[Earth_First]

18. I am terrified of dihydrogen monoxide... n/t

[crew doyle]

19. A disaster of Titanic proportions

so to speak...

[Fumesucker]

25. Indubitably.. n/t

[Drunken Irishman]

26. This might be worse than Haiti, New Orleans and Chili COMBINED!

[tekisui]

2. It isn't a death watch. They had ample time for everyone to get

out of the way. The only deaths would be from idiots who didn't heed the warning.

It will be property damage, and will be something to see.

I don't understand people who are so opposed to real news and real events being seen.

[Drunken Irishman]

3. Oh I know...I'm saying they're making it look like a death watch.

Horrific impending disaster!

I am not opposed to it. I'm just saying they seem to be painting a very grim image of this.

As if Hawaii is only seconds from being wiped off the map.

[tekisui]

6. I got ya.

I don't have cable, so I don't know what they are saying. I am watching the local stream online.

7. What about Abby?

[azmouse]

8. I guess no news is good news right now.

I hope it stays this way.

[Jakes Progress]

9. Yep. There's this guy on CNN that sounds like

he's gonna bust a gut if something bad doesn't happen soon. You can hear the desperate need for tragedy in his voice.

[Drunken Irishman]

13. It's funny watching them build this up.

MSNBC has run this animation that shows the wave essentially going over a high-rise and flooding the entire island.

[Jakes Progress]

31. And still people trust these guys to tell them what's happening in the world. nt

10. Tool .. Vicarious Lyrics

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUGbu6Jcrmw

Eye on the TV
'cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor it happens to be

Like:
"Killed by the husband" ...
"Drowned by the ocean" ...
"Shot by his own son" ...
"She used a poison in his tea,
Then (she) kissed him goodbye"
That's my kind of story
It's no fun til someone dies.

Carnivore and voyeur
Stare at the transmittal.
Sing to the death rattle.
Don't look me at like I am a monster
Frown out your one face, but with the other (you)
Stare like a junkie into the TV
Stare like a zombie while the mother holds her child,
Watches him die,
Hands to the sky cryin "why, oh why?"

Cause I need to watch things die from a distance
Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies
You all need it too - don't lie.

11. generalissimo francisco franco is still dead......

[Cha]

12. Please tell me that's not what the corporatemediaWhores

are calling it? I just talked to my son on Kaua'i who lives more up in the hills so he's okay but we're concerned for those living on the South and West Shores.

My friend talked to his sister on Kaua'i and she said lot's of people were buying supplies and heading for the hills from the Coastal towns. He said..Locals will go up there and party:party: and wait it out.B-)

[Drunken Irishman]

14. Na. But they're building it up as such.

Hope your son is okay! :hug:

[Cha]

28. Well, you can see how I wouldn't put it past them.

I called Tim when I got home from work (having found out about the Earthquake and subsequent Tsunami Warnings from customers who came in)..and he answered the phone.."Tsunami Mommy!".

I took that as a good sign right away. But, you can believe I had only one thought at work after I heard the news..Be Safe!

Thanks DI:hug:

[Drunken Irishman]

16. Now MSNBC sayin' this could go on until TOMORROW!

:o

[crew doyle]

22. Stay tuned! Film at 11...or 12...or 1...or...

just don't change that channel, kiddos!

[Libertas1776]

17. WIND STORM '97!

[parasim]

20. Kinda reminds me of all the Balloon Boy coverage. nt

[Pithlet]

21. Just reported that waters are receding from the shore. That's the first sign.

Waves are probably going to start hitting very soon.

[crew doyle]

23. Just as the tide is starting to go out .. how convenient

...

[Drunken Irishman]

27. OMG! IT HAS REACHED HAWAII! 5.5 FEET! OMG!

[LynneSin]

29. I feel like I'm watching that Geraldo special where he opened Al Capone's Vault

alot of hype but nothing thrilling found in it

32. Those skits were some of my favorites from the show

That aside, it looks like this tsunami was exaggerated. Better safe than sorry though.
