Japan 8.9 earthquake. Pacific wide tsunami watch/warning
They are saying if it hits southern California will hit between 8 and 9 am march 11.
Pull those pangas out!
Edit: The advisory is now a warning. 1 meter high surges expected along west coast.

Holy crap...a good neighbour just banged on my window at 3:00 am to warn me of a possible tsunami here....what a nightmare this disaster is....no
police warnings yet but I am certainly getting a getaway bag ready and charging camera batteries and seriously thinking about what to do next...good
luck everyone.

Tsunami is imminent. Good luck to all of you on the Pacific Coast.
Please warn your neighbors now.... and prepare for emergency evacuation to higher ground.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Scheduled to reach So Cal around 8:30 this morning at a max of 1 to 3 feet.
Maybe 9-9:30 am for Asuncion but should be less surge there.

Glad to see ya'll are on it. DON'T PLAY WITH THIS ONE. 8.9 is huge with great damage potential. NOAA tsunami and USGS good info sites. Stay up on high
ground.

I hope it's just big enough to wash the Cerritos Beach Club away.

I was in Hawaii during one of these alerts and those folks take it seriously, grabbing what they can....dogs, cats, bird cages, and heading for high
ground. Better safe than sorry.
Good luck to all you folks who live in the Federal Zone. That may change as well.

Predicted 5-7 ft here Avila Beach/Port San Luis at 8:03. Kathy is right now at her office at the Avila Community Services District which is right at
sea level and is supervising securing the waste water plant which is also at sea level or just above. She promised to be up on the hill before 8:00.

Overwhelming irony.
I've lived through a few of these alerts, mostly on the west coast, and they have all turned into non-events. Of course, better safe than
sorry..........head for the hills, or the Mall.

Your memory is pretty short or you weren't paying attention. Does Crescent City ring a bell? The people who died probably wouldn't consider it a
non-event.
