I hope everything is okay - but I’m finding this a fascinating real-time case study of the chaotic nature of breaking information during a (potential) disaster.

  And a number of false-but-believable tweets by people, I presume for the attention. E.g. "Harbor X is emptying", or "Wave now 60ft high!"

    There was a study done a while back basically demonstrating that following breaking news too closely actually resulted in a less accurate recollection of the facts. Turns out it’s difficult to forget compelling information even if it ultimately proves to be false (and you’re aware that it’s false).
