Weather and time

Eyes are glued to the news with the 8.8 earthquake in Chilie and the tsunami it has created. Of course all of our minds go back to the Indian Ocean tsunami a few years ago and hoping we don't see near as many deaths as we saw back then. It is amazing to me how widespread the media coverage is, from facebook to twitter, and from satellite radio to live internet feeds. I grew up in a time with no cell phones, we used actual typewriters, and the computers were apples and macs using the large square black floppy disks. We had no idea what the internet even was! Now it's everywhere.

Right now I'm watching Hawaii TV live via internet, listening to what is happening there and waiting with anticipation along with everyone else to see what the ocean delivers as a result of this earthquake.
