Earthquake in Chile

The leading sunglass distributors, HBSunglassCompany, would like to extend their gratitude to the people of Chile. On Saturday February 27, 2010 Chile was hit with a magnitude 8.8 earthquake and the ensuing tsunami. Building and structures were knocked completely down into piles of rubble. The death toll has nearly reached 800 and is rising every day. Due to the fact that after the earthquake they were hit by a tsunami, they are unsure of how many people where washed away by the 40 feet waves. This is a tragedy that will take months if not years to clear up after.

This on going storm that is hitting Orange County, where HBSunglassCompany is located, is causing extremely high surf. Huntington Beach specifically is reporting high surf and waves cresting at 14feet. The National Weather Service has issued a high surf advisory through Sunday morning. The potential for coastal flooding is very likely as the storm has not let up. This storm is also expected to cause damages to the piers, jetties and lead to beach erosion. The storm is suppose to be over by Sunday.
