Earthquake, Tsunami, Waterspout, Lightning & Thunder

Yes, it all happened today. We woke to the news of the Chilean 8.8 magnitude quake that devastated Chile overnight. Then we spent the morning waiting for the Tsunami to hit Hawaii. It turned out to be much smaller than forecasted, but it did occur.



In Orange County a small Tsunami did actually appear...


Later on at 3:24PM my buddy Will was streaming live video and captured a waterspout off the coast of Newport Beach.


In the late afternoon as that same line of storms passed, a thunderstorm cell moved right over my house and we got hit with a sudden hail shaft. 3/8" size hail fell for almost 5 minutes while lightning struck and thunder boomed.


Finally the rain and hail stopped as the line moved east. The sky above surprised me with mammatus just before sunset.
