Hey, everybody, it is Thursday, July 31st. You're listening to the Mo News podcast on this last day of July. I'm Oshuunu. And I'm Jill Wagner. This is the place where we bring you just to the facts.

And we read all the news and try to read between the lines so you don't have to. When we last left you on yesterday's podcast, we had just gotten word of

that earthquake with a tsunami warning overnight, Joel. Yes, as we updated the podcast late

on Tuesday night, it was not clear what the actual impact in terms of tsunamis would be. There

from from Washington to California. And thankfully, it looks like the worst case scenario was averted.

Yes. In many cases, we saw like one foot, two foot, three foot tsunamis. But bear in mind,

off of Comcha, the peninsula there, the sixth strongest earthquake ever recorded on Earth.

That's how powerful this quake was. And it also

moved in a way that moved water that led to tsunami. There's different types of earthquakes.

This is the one where basically the ocean floor moves in a way that creates tsunamis.

So everyone breathing aside of relief there. There's a lot of concern, particularly in a Hawaii

Jill, we shared some of those videos of people evacuating the higher elevations due to those concerns, including a number of members of the MoNoo's audience who were sharing pictures with us as they were being evacuated.
