Peru earthquake spawn Tsunami Warning for Pacific
|
As if Hawaii hasn't had enough with TS Flossie, a huge wild fire, and their own earthquake in the past couple of days, now a 7.7 and a 7.5 quake have hit Peru, triggering a tsunami warning for the Pacific -- including Hawaii.
Makes me glad I'm in Florida!!

The Weather Channel is where I heard about the tsunami warning for the Pacific basin.
