It's official: the tsunami warning is off.

Tsunami Information
Saturday, February 27, 2010
The Pacific Tsunami Center has cancelled the tsunami warning for the State of Hawai`i following the 8.8 earthquake in Chile on February 27, 2010. Each county will make their own determination of "all clear."
Hilo Airport will reopen, Kahului Airport and Honolulu County will reopen access roads, and Lihue AIrport is operating. In addition, Maui County will restart water and pump stations.
Governor Lingle thanked State Civil Defense, all four county Civil Defense agencies and Hawai`i residents for their quick response to the situation.

Yes I agree but of course with the many aftershocks, unfortunately, they still have to keep a lookout.

Nah, I honestly think "2012" is just a part of a Mayan calender that just stopped. If anything, realistically speaking, if life is going to end on Earth, we'll be taken out by either our own Sun or an asteroid, before we're taken out by our own planet. To be quite honest with you, if it wasn't for Jupiter life on Earth would've been gone a long time ago.
