Was watching a documentary about this dude, and the narrator said, "I'm not kidding when I say this: the research program was going to go unfunded until Kanye West funded it with 10 M dollars. That is all I'm going to say about that. When we see the crater form..."

Upgraded to an 8.7 now. That's a fucking monster.

It's funny, the other day I was thinking that most of the time tsunami warnings amount to nothing. I believe this one will create a pretty catastrophic tsunami.

Reading about it, that spot has some of the biggest earthquakes in history.

1737 earthquake which had tsunamis estimated at 66-98ft
1841 earthquake which had a 15ft tsunami in Hawaii, 49ft elsewhere
1951 earthquake 49-59ft tsunami

All estimated to be in the 9.0+ range
