8.8 earthquake hits Chile; tsunami alert for Pacific

I saw the Rick Ssanchez stuff as it happened.

Damn near makes me want to watch Fox.

 

So, CNN's coverage sucked, but you didn't turn the channel?

Were you afraid you might, "catch teh conservative" if you watched FOX?

 

I watched a few minutes of Fox (which still isn't capitalized, by the way) on Sky News (damn you Rupert Murdoch!), and they spent most of that time discussing the fact that water in Long Beach, Calif., was receding (it was low tide, curiously enough), and that there were two or three boats that might be damaged.

 

I'm not dying from teh Conservative, I'm living with it -- and I'm going to walk my daughter down the aisle at her wedding!

I was flipping around before giving up and trying to take a nap. I saw some of that. Weren't they trying to show the displacement of the water? (I don't know if I phrased that right?) You know, that for it to be really high in one place, it has to be really low somewhere else.

 

Lady anchor on Fox also at one point said, while very worried, that there are many American tourists that will be impacted. Didn't mention the many American citizens that actually live in one of the country's states that would be impacted.

 

But enough about Kenya.

 

Sorry, while being very worried for Hawaii.

 

I don't want to explain the joke.

 

ESPN Radio's Andrew Siciliano was in Valparaiso, Chile when the quake hit. He said on FB he's made it to Houston so I assume he'll be talking about it in a few hours on 710 am in LA.

He's a good reporter so I bet he has some quality insights.

 

According to NASA, the earthquake shifted the Earth's axis and shortened the day ever so slightly:
