A severe seismic event with several strong aftershocks, is indicated in the northern hemisphere before April 12th 2010. The event may produce severe shaking through a broad latitude from 1 degree north latitude to 25 degrees north latitude plus or minus 10 degrees. The event maybe accompanied by a very strong event 30 additional degrees north plus or minus 10 degrees. The exact location of the events is unknown. Recent activity along the San Andreas fault and at the seams of the Philippine Plate indicates one of those regions as the most likely location. The shape of the coronal disturbances, however, seem to fit the features of the San Andreas fault. Analysis of activity in other coronal features indicates a possible tsunami in the northern reaches of the effected region. The most likely days for the event, are April 4th 5th and 6th.

8.8 Earthquake in Chile, 7.0 Earthquake in Japan, 4.1 Earthquake in Central California & Tsunami In Hawaii
Video of the tsunami surge generated by the Feburary 27, 2010 Chilean Earthquake (8.8 mag) hitting the harbor in Santa Cruz, California. There were at least 4 surges over 2 hours - on each surge the water first went out for 15 minutes and the water level dropped 3-4 feet. Then the water would be still for a few minutes, and then a surge would come back in lasting 15 minutes or so. Estimated surge height from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center was 0.5 m for Santa Cruz.
Following the 8.8 Chilean earthquake, advisories and warnings went out over the entire Pacific basin. This clip documents, in real and time lapse format, the tidal and wave activity at Doheny State Beach and Dana Point Harbor from 11:45am to 1:15pm PST on Saturday, February 27, 2010. The first small Tsunami arrived at Dana Point at approximately 12:10pm. Low tide that day was at 2:30pm, at 1.3 feet.
Having lived on this beautiful "Blue Marble" for 57 years and having never witnessed a tsunami, I felt compelled to exploit the impending "Tsunami Warning" for the Southern California coast resulting from the tragic 8.8 earthquake that struck Chile at 3 am. My wife Deana and I collected items that we deemed useful in recording the event. We carried a yardstick, masking tape, a pencil and two cameras as we struck off to Channel Islands Harbor to record the event. The Los Angeles Coast Guard had issued a "Tsunami Warning" for the region with a potential surge of 6 to 8 feet. As members of a sailing club, Sailtime Channel Islands, we took advantage of our member vessel, "Bodacious", to set up our recording operation. Over the next hour and a half we recorded the incredible event as it unfolded thousands of miles from its origin.
Video of first 3 hours of tsunami inundation at small boat basin entrance of Crescent City harbor. Tsunami produced by M8.8 offshore Chile earthquake. The processed video is sped up by about 20X so that 3 hours is reproduced to be about 8.5 minutes in length. Note, the tsunami is not a wall of water but a series of long period waves, seen here as strong shifting currents in and out of the small boat basin. The surging and waning portions of the tsunami are about 15 minutes apart. This small boat basin typically has little or no current across the entrance. The anticipated maximum crest to trough amplitude of the tsunami was estimated by the West Coast Tsunami Warning Center to be about 0.6 m (2 ft). The change in sea level height is evident by the change in water height on the end of the rocky break-water directly across the channel. Several fishing and pleasure vessels moved out of the basin in advance of the tsunami. A few of them return during the course of the video and can be seen negotiating the channel in the swift currents of the tsunami.
Yesterday the Tsunami indeed hit Dana Point in the form of multiple wave surges that caused considerable reversing currents in the harbor, and required at one point for us to take he schooner Curlew, Ketch Spirit, Schooner Spirit of Dana Point and all the Dana Wharf fishing boats out to sea. Yes it was rough, wet and cold, but we stayed out there for a few hours until the Coast Guard gave us the all clear. Even then the surge in the harbor made for real tricky docking, and managed to spin Spirit 90 degrees as she tried to dock, pushing her side-on to our dock and the Ocean Adventures dock. Fortunately we were sill circling or our boomkin would have been in trouble. All the Dana Wharf team were there to help. Next we brought Curlew in, but I was lucky enough to take advantage of the short slack water between surges and brought her in with out incident.
Initial surge of the Chilean quake tsunami at the Santa Ana River inlet at 12:30pm PST on February 27, 2010
The Tsunami had reached the beach front houses, caused some damages. My house was fine. MAJOR FLOODING
Boats in Santa Cruz Harbor in California were temporarily left sitting on sand when the tsunami triggered by Saturday's earthquake in Chile hit. (Feb, 28)
Tsunami Watch 2010 Newport Beach Pier, California. February 27, 2:30 pm. We head down to the beach after lunch to take a walk on the beach and look for signs of the Tsunami. The rain has passed and there is some blue sky between the clouds. What a beautiful afternoon. It is a -1.37 low tide and 2-4 foot waves with a building WNW Swell. It should be good surfing tomorrow morning if the wind cooperates. It is hard to tell any signs of the Tsunami that was generated by the earthquake in Chile because of the strong onshore winds and the very low tide. Our best thoughts and prayers are with the people of Chile and we will do what we can to help. You can go to this link for more information and where to donate. www.google.com

From The 8.8 Earthquake In Chile
Feb. 27, 2010 Santa Monica Pier, North View Local news reported a Tsunami advisory for Santa Monica of 2 to 3 feet starting at 12:35PM. Low Tide was at 2:29PM today. Waves reached 20 feet further up the beach around 12:40Pm, followed by a 150 ft withdrawal at 12:58 PM. A slow surge brought the ocean back to normal levels 10 to 15 minutes later. Benjamin
Tsunami Watch Eureka CA Feb 2010 video 2 I was saying about one foot, but the tide is up by at least six feet...If you compare the difference from video 1, the surge is no longer being blocked by the jetty, but is now now coming down the channel at it's full force. The surge is being absorbed by the large inland body of water which makes up Humboldt bay, so no damage was done.
Northern California, we woke up in the morning from camping on Shell Beach and the waves were huge, and close. it was exciting.
Tsunami reaches Hawaii, extent of damage uncertain - Ventura Tsunami - Did Hawaii Dodge Bullet
Recorded on February 27, 2010 using a Flip Video camcorder. Another video of the storm surge. It was just WOW
The water in Dana Point harbor dramatically recedes in about 11 minutes, time-lapsed to 30 seconds. Watch the shoreline in the foreground. Baby beach drains to the bottom of the buoys. Not very dramatic to watch in person, but interesting when sped up. The surge of water coming though the opening of the harbor apparently was strong enough to break the "bait barge" into two pieces, but caused no other damage.
Recorded on February 27, 2010 using a Flip Video camcorder. Footage of the ebb and flo in San Diego harbor. Amazing Please excuse the fact that I didn't edit any of this. I wanted it up right away
