The cast of "Lost" is preparing for the Tsunamis that are currently hitting Hawaii.

The tsunamis are a direct result of the devastating earthquale that leveled Chile earlier today.

In an Exclusive, E! has contacted the cast and crew of "Lost", and just hours after a massive 8.8 earthquake hit Chile, the residents of Oahu, Hawaii, have already been hit by early predicted tsunamis.

Daniel Dae Kim and Lost showrunner Damon Lindelof emailed E!:

"All our cast and crew is accounted for and safely away from coastal areas," Damon tells me this afternoon. "Jorge Garcia continues to thrash me in Scrabble via iPhone from Ken Leung's house. Our entire team in Hawaii appreciates all the positive energy being sent their way."

Daniel decided not to fly to Los Angeles this morning for tonight's Paley Festival fan event to stay with his family druing the tsunami warning. "My family and I are doing fine," Daniel said. "We've moved to high ground and are staying with friends who generously opened their home to us. All that's left to do is wait. Heartfelt thanks to everyone who sends their thoughts and good wishes."

The other showrunner, Carlton Cuse shared his thoughts on Twitter today:

@DamonLindelof: Praying for Chile and all the islands of Hawaii. Please send our cast and crew all your positive energy.

@CarltonCuse To ALL on the LOST crew -- responding to the Tsunami warning -- safe refuge is available at the studio.
@CarltonCuse Waves to reach Hawaii just after 11 AM.
