The USGS will send you notice of earthquakes by email if you ask them to. I had to reset the parameters so they only notify me of quakes that are stronger than 5.0 - just too many quakes everyday but most are little things.

My thoughts exactly.

That video footage is actually from Thailand on 2004.

You can see the same video in this bigger one, uploaded on March 18, 2008:

Just skip to 3:33 and look, same clip

yes, the video is a joke, saw it a couple of times before. The last time when I saw it was yesterday when I searched for info and before it could have hit Hawai.
