Sometimes traveler is traveling.
I know it's not your normal news article but the internet is a blaze with this.
And I don't know if any of our people here or there friends are aware.
Earthquake was only 15-20 miles down off the coast of chili - initial quake was estimated at 7.9, later upgraded to 8.3 --- which means a lot of surface displacement - meaning ocean. So NOAA (and yeah I track them too as well as their websties) who have all their buoys out in the ocean looking for this stuff are going off. Hawaii is on tsunami watch early this morning for like 12 am - even alaska later on in the day but it should dissipate tomorrow afternoon - depending on the many anticipated aftershocks.
Hawaii people move to high ground. I have a few friends there who are doing just that right now.
Kind of a not too much info article actually now that I read it - may change it out. But it's also early reporting on a situation that is happening now.
and where they predict the potential tsunamis...

The earthquake occurred off the coast of Coquimbo, Chile, at a depth of about 15.5 miles, the USGS reported. The original estimate was 7.8 miles.
The quake struck just offshore in the Pacific Ocean at 7:54 p.m. Chilean authoritiesinitially estimated the quake’s magnitude at 7.2. There have been five aftershocks.
Tsunami waves from the earthquake were possible within the next three hours along some coasts of Chile, Peru, and Hawaii, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
Strong shaking was reported in Chile, with residents fleeing outside, the Associated Press reported.
If tsunami waves hit Hawaii, the estimated earliest arrival was 12:33 a.m. Thursday.

Chile’s National Office of Emergency of the Interior Ministry told people who are on the coast to calmly evacuate to a safe zone.
The Prompt Assessment of Global Earthquakes for Response’s model estimates there could be up to 100 people killed.
Panels and parts of the ceiling fell nearly 100 feet at the Costanera Center, a commercial complex with a six-floor shopping mall.
Neil Klopfenstein, 35, told BuzzFeed News he was in Santiago, Chile, when the earthquake struck. He said via Twitter that the sixth aftershock felt almost as intense as the initial quake, but that the power remained on.
