#Tsunami WARNING in effect NOW for B.C. coast. "If you are in a coastal area that is at risk, you should move to high ground now and heed further instruction from local authorities." Continue to follow the updates here: http://ow.ly/iNaF30hWDLV
CNN is more obsessed about Trump so any breaking news will not be found on there. The Tsunami warning for BC has ended but the map showing Tofino's possible impact zones would be terrifying if I lived there.
I remember a few years back there was a sizable earthquake off the coast of Chile and there was a tsunami warning for Hawaii. CNN watched the beaches for hours and nothing happened. You want them to do that again?
"xerxes" said I remember a few years back there was a sizable earthquake off the coast of Chile and there was a tsunami warning for Hawaii. CNN watched the beaches for hours and nothing happened. You want them to do that again?
After seeing a post on FB I turned on CNN and watched for 45 minutes while they bashed Trump and the Republicans. They never made mention of the Tsunami warning let alone of the earth quake. No scroll at the bottom about it either. I switched to a local net work and instantly seen the scroll on the bottom about the Tsunami warning. 20 Minutes into watching the local channel they talked about it and the Earth quake. Every 20-30 minutes they did a quick brief on it and the whole time had the scroll going mentioning it.
"But today was a real-live test of our emergency system. I've very pleased with he way it went, and I'm also looking forward to how we can improve it."

Considering the last time a Earthquake hit Alaska one would think CNN would have taken this more serious.
