Mood: Luminescent Waves at Rosarito Beach

They cleared the beaches in Rosarito of people, but have not gone door to door to ask for evacuations. Not sure they do that here anyway. Many of
our neighbors called or knocked on our door earlier to warn us. Most have already left for higher ground (about a ten minute drive though). We are
at sea level, the house is designed for one meter of incoming water and hopefully any incoming water would be free of debris (a good thing). We have
the exterior security cameras focused on the beach.
We have everything loaded in the truck ready to go. We have the advantage of watching the tsunami work it's way down the CA coast. Only an advisory
here, so we are hopeful and we don't want to leave the house for higher ground too early. Everyone is watching for the telltale signs of it coming-
when it looks like you could walk across the sand from Rosarito Beach to the Coronado Islands.
Our neighbor is confined to bed with a back injury- so we are keeping in close touch with them. Another reason we are waiting until the last minute
here.

At 8.9, it was the largest quake to ever hit Japan, and the 5th largest recorded quake in World History. The USS Ronald Reagan is being prepared to
leave San Diego to assist Japan.
The Tsunami (first wave) was not noticed here in Southern California, however in Santa Cruz Harbor about 6 boats were damaged or sunk, as well as some
dock damage.

Good for Juan, a man after my own heart .... somethings are really important...
Best of luck.. to all ... hope its only another alarm... know the warning scared hell out of me the other year on the one generated though the
earthquake in Chili ... it was the one thing I had not planned for... a tsunami !!!! I was by myself without a car... and on the beach... was kinda
thinking of the movie "Deep Impact" for a few hours that morning...

Looks like a non-event here in Rosarito. All the local news stations were at the beach our front of the house with cameras- but have now left. whew.

all want to know you're safe

Ho Hum
No Big Deal on the West Coast.
All of the advice about Running for High Ground and Climbing Hills in fear of a couple feet of "possible" surge figured to be nonsensical and it WAS.
A usual Winter Storm brings more Tidal action.

Live from so. cal. Seal beach they still think more to come. Weird Shari to think the effects are possibly being felt at the same time in so. cal.
Maybe the sea floor. They say these waves travel from the ocean floor to the surface the entire trip. Rat

Looks like Crescent City CA got the only real damage- to boats and houses... so far.
