[GoddessOfGuinness]

9. How far from the epicenter are you?

Sounds terrifying! :hug:

[Catherine Vincent]

4. Is this the first tsunami warning California has ever had?

Just curious.

5. This year

Redwood city was hit in 64 that caused death.

[MaryBear]

17. There was one in the 80's.

In the City (SF) lots of people went to the beach to watch. Fortunately, no biggy.

6. Rock and Roll Time

Yeah, time to take the dry suit to work. I am ready to rock!

[uppityperson]

8. low lying Crescent City evacuated

but then they have been wiped out, historically. Now the tsunami people are saying they don't know if there will be one, but don't go watch for one. Loma Prieta was 7.1 by the way.

[yvr girl]

10. It's been downgraded

If there is one, it will only be localized near the epicentre.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

11. I wonder if it's related to yesterday's quake in Chile...

Same plates?

14. thanks for the update

normal california living at its pace

San Andrea fault by Natalie Merchant


San Andreas Fault
moved it's fingers
through the ground
earth divided
plates collided
such an awful sound

San Andreas Fault
moved its fingers
through the ground
terra cotta shattered
and walls came
tumbling down

o promised land
o wicked ground
build a dream
tear it down

[AntiCoup2K4]

13. Nothing happening on the Washington coast

Just checked the cameras at Long Beach and La Push (pretty much the ends of the state coast line) and everything appears normal.
