Snow storm here in NJ and the word tsunami in the news. The gods are saying it’s time for the beach.

Where in that report does it mention Sint Maarten? SXM media is saying no warnings for the island.

Where did you copy that from. Because when you read the report either I’m blind or it’s not mentioned.

Don't shoot the messenger. Was posted on Eye 4 weather Facebook page. They just updated to say St Maarten will not be affected.

Just saw this on YT. 7.6 is pretty hefty but it does seem to be a more localized threat.

I hadn't heard they were called out. By whom may I ask and can you post that "call out"? Most I've read on their reports have been spot on in the past.

Well I’ve realized I follow way too many sxm boards on FB. I can’t find it. Had about 35 comments on the post. Oh well. Just glad it’s not near SXM. There is some
Mention of it here. But that wasn’t the post I saw. But had no idea SXM doesn’t have a working system

We’re in SXM now (and since Saturday 2/8) and felt no effects from that earthquake whatsoever.
