Tsunami hits French Polynesia
2010-02-28
Tsunamis generated by an earthquake in Chile have struck French Polynesia, but there are no reports of major damage or casualties.

Huge waves struck the Gambier archipelago at 6:30am (local time), the high commissioner's office in Papeete said, as the tsunami raced across the Pacific. The Marquesas Islands, north-east of Polynesia, were hit between 7.00-8.00am (local time) by a series of two-metre waves which damaged some boats but no-one was hurt. A four-metre wave also hit Hiva Oa in the Marquesas.

The port in Papeete was evacuated and thousands in Tahiti's hillside areas were transported from their homes to safer areas. However, many residents along the coast refused to leave, fearing lootings.

Between the waves the sea withdrew about 15 metres, causing rip currents.

#8  RUSSIA is repor ordering the evacuation of outlying islands > SHADE OF FSM + HAWAIIAN ISLANDS via POST-KAMALEN GUAM, WESTPAC.

IRONY? PROPHETIC INVERSE? Many Guamanians oer the decades since the 1970's have told me of their own personal dreams-visions wjere massive tidal wave are "seen" washing or slamming oer Guam from EASTPAC direction. "KAMALEN" AFAIB IS WESTPAC. IMO PROLLY THE SAME EVENT WHICH WIPED OUT HAWAII IN FUTURE TIME [asteroid breakup sendng sub-rocks unto Earth]???

IMO GEOPOL read, USDOD PACIFIC = PACIFIC HQ COMMANDS ALL BUT WIPED OUT, USA hard-pressed to project effective MilPower beyond WEST COAST + CONUS.

OWG Mighty USSA = Weak USRoAmerika Global SSR = Biblical JOB versus both GOD-N-DEVIL. WILL AMERICA = AMERIKA "KEEP THE FAITH" IN GOD COME WHAT MAY, NO MATTER THE TESTS, TRIBULATIONS OF THE DEVIL? SPACE ROCKS = ARE NOT THE SUN.

#6  I'm telling Guam locals that, via GLOBAL WARMING [Sun] + so-called "EARTH CHANGES", humanity will ever stronger EQ's. SCIENCE tells or teaches us that GREAT EPOCHS, ICE AGES, PLANET- + CONTINENTAL TECTONIC MOVEMENTS HAD OCCURRED IN EARTH'S PAST, BUT THERE IS MUCH SCIENS UNCERTAINTY + LACK OF UNIFIED CONSENSUS AS TO SOLAR BEHAVIOR + EFFECTS ON EARTH BEFORE, DURING, + AFTER THOSE PERIODS.

* MY BELIEF > YEAR "2012" = QUAKE HEARD/FELT AROUND THE WORLD {Universal-Global Quake].

* FREEREPUBLIC this AM > CHILEAN SEASIDE RESORT TOWN OF PELLEHUE HAS BEEN WASHED AWAY: MUNICIPALITY HAD ABOUT 1000 RESIDENTS [possible Tote popul of 6,414?].

Small-to-minutae tsunami waves = non-dangerous/threatening wave heights repor reached as far as JAPAN + RUSSIA includ GUAM.

Reminds me of POST-KAMALEN SPACE ROCK EVENT AGANA + WEST SIDE OF GUAM [Central-South]. Again, KAMALEN per se is NOT a big rock, neither is COMET APOPHIS.

GUAM/EARTH-VISIBLE MOON EXPLOSIONS [2030] > THE MOON IS A BIG ROCK.

big Big BIG B-I-G BBBBBIIIIIIIIGGGGG ROCK.

WARD BOND to CAVALRY LT in "THE SEARCHERS" > "Big, Big, D *** NG IT, B-I-C, BIG"!

Have I said "BIG"?
