Let's all hope now that the extreme-right party of Geert Wildersch will not become the biggest party now. I really can't imagine him being our new prime minister. :")

This is indeed terrible news. But, what angers me over this is how "we" (UK) are dealing with it in the news. This earthquake takes 2nd place. What takes first? - two over paid hypocritical football players who have fallen out and yesterday never "shook" hands during the pre-match. I know what you're thinking, breaking news.Kanta wrote:Jarre4422 wrote:8.8 Earthquake in Chile. Tsunami warning to all Pacific coast!![]()
They say that if a Tsunami is expected, it could reach 5 feet in height, maybe more. The experts say the last big earthquake they had was almost 180 years ago. As the coastline moves 8cm per year, that is a huge amount of slippage during a quake, and over such a huge length of time.Kanta wrote:Jarre4422 wrote:8.8 Earthquake in Chile.
