They postponed the Hawaii game because of a tsunami?

Powderguy · 02-27-10, 03:12 PM

Well, nothing happened yet. They just don't want people traveling. About an hour, we'll see what this fuss is all about.

THE PROFIT · 02-27-10, 03:27 PM

First Tsunami waves expected to Hit Hawaii at 4:05pm ET. Damn! Just imagine though, in Indonesia they had no warning system & hundreds of thousand died. That much death & destruction is hard to imagine.

THE PROFIT · 02-27-10, 03:29 PM

I assume the waves just keep generating more powerful waves & gaining momentum from the quake until they hit land & something's gotta give. Massive tidal wave-1 People-0

crazy

teaserpleaser · 02-27-10, 03:32 PM

6ft waves predicted

Powderguy · 02-27-10, 03:32 PM

Indonesia was obviously WAY WAY worst, Hawaii won't come anywhere close to waves like that.

THE PROFIT · 02-27-10, 03:38 PM

Obviously. But the quake that caused the tsunami in indonesis happened in the middle of the ocean so there was no one on land to realize there was a bad quake, the epicenter was in the middle of the pacific. It's almost like people didn't realize that plates can shift under water or some stupid shit.

Yeah, someone wasn't on top of their job that day and it costs TONS of people their lives. Didn't they finally realize it like 20 min before it struck, but it was too late.

Small ass waves aren't harming anything right now.

Hopefully it gets better.

craig4nr · 02-27-10, 05:08 PM

People have been making a bigger deal out of this today than it needed to be. It won't be anything like Indonesia. Evacuations and all were ncessary, but some people have been talking like this thing will destroy the whole state. It won't.

The waves haven't been big yet, but this could go on for hours. It's waaayyyy too early to say that no serious damage will occur from this.

Bluehorseshoe · 02-27-10, 05:11 PM

A-holes are looting already. They're going into the evacuated homes.

if their had been such a hype before the big asian wave there could have been thousands of peoples lifes saved.

Powderguy · 02-27-10, 05:13 PM

This isn't going to be that serious though. Not even close.

I agree with you as far as the media coverage goes. It just gets ridiculous when people act like the islands will be wiped off the face of the earth. At the absolute worst, damage will occur along the coastline.

but you cant exactly predict how strong the wave is going to be.

The only damage is going to be to buildings anyways, since everyone that has common sense is outta the way.

spartangreen · 02-27-10, 05:45 PM

I heard Dog the Bounty Hunter stopped the Tsunami all by himself.

Powderguy · 02-27-10, 05:46 PM

Yeah, media took it way too serious like usual.

RichardMoss · 02-27-10, 07:18 PM

OK SBR'rs:
I had a wager cancelled on this game when it initially was PPD, but now the game is playing at the original time. Should the book reinstate that?

no, if a wager is once cancelled there is no way they reinstate it.

It really depends on the software the book is using if this can be done, ungrade the game and status change. Also you have to consider the 'house rules' on this kind of events. At the end it all falls down to 'management criteria'.

Jay, I am with you, not a chance in hell. But truth is stranger than fiction. I just checked and they put it back in play - BEFORE I EVEN CHATTED THEM !!

I would have been 10x pissed if I had wanted this cancelled, saw it listed as cancelled earlier, and they put it back in play.

WOW, that's not right. But it worked out since you wanted it back for ya, but still, they didn't even ask wtf.

They shouldn't have voided your wager until the originally scheduled time had passed. I had a bet once that Pinnacle voided in a similar circumstance that they didn't reinstate until the game was over and I'd lost. I ended up overbetting because of that, but there was nothing I could do about it because their rules clearly stated that if the game was played on the day originally scheduled, I had action. They assured me that winning wagers on the other side were reinstated as well.
