On Saturday, 27 February, a massive earthquake struck Chile. The nature of the earthquake is already posted on Wikipedia:

An hour after the quake, a tsunami swept away several beach communities. Today's Seattle Times has the story:

Nor was the danger of tsunamis limited to Chile. Various Tsunami Warnings, Watches or Advisories were issued to numerous countries on the Pacific Rim. It was the tsunami concern that kept my two coworkers, on duty that day, very busy.
