[chriselmore_1]

justlooked @ my weather channel app and there's a tsunami warning for cali and oregon! What's the tide like? Did they shut the beach down? Last time that happened the tide was all the way up the ramp at the grand enterance

You saw/read about the earthquake in Japan right?

 

[chriselmore_1]

yep. Just wonderin about the pismo conditions. Last time the wave from the tsunami were only like 2 feet. It was kinda weird to have 6 to 8 foot sets then have a 2 footer roll through...

just spoke with mark gomez, they cleared the beach at 4am, 3 foot wave will be here around 8am.

cnn has some pretty good coverage now. My kids gf is on Maui now in the high school. All people have been moved to high ground. So far biggest wave they have seen was 6' just a few minutes ago.

Pretty crazy videos on cnn.

"Large fishing boats and other sea vessels rode high waves into the cities, slamming against overpasses or scraping under them and snapping power lines along the way. Upturned and partially submerged vehicles were seen bobbing in the water. Ships anchored in ports crashed against each other."

Waiting for the "Wave" to pass. We are all here all good. Waiting for the rangers to let us back in.

A tsunami isn't like a wave, but rather like a surge. Even 20ft surf won't go past the beach, but a 3ft tsunami likely will do that because it's a temporary 3ft water level rise.

Head for the hills boys, she's gonna blow!!!

They finally opened up the beach...

They evacuated some places about 10 miles from here and kept the beaches closed all day. Tsunami brought 3' here. Tide was already on it's way out by about 3 hours when it hit here or I'm sure it would have been much worse. We've had some very high tides because of some serious rain. In fact, the local river is supposed to be a few inches above flood stage tomorrow at high tide. If the tsunami had hit then, with another 3 feet, we'd have it pretty bad here.
