this is a massive quake

X is filled with ā€œOprah won’t open her private roadā€ assume this is BS.

But really shocking- other than brief cut-ins on MSNBC and an on screen alert on CNN, bumpkiss on tv news.

For Pete’s sake, the weather channel is showing Timber Titans, not even a note on screen, just the standard local weather updates on the bottom chyron.

A tsunami capable of producing strong currents that may be hazardous to swimmers, boats, and coastal structures is expected. Widespread inundation is NOT expected. However, damage at the harbors will be possible. Surging water in and out of harbors can cause boats and docks to detach from structures.

Sounds like it should be fairly tame by the time it gets to LA.

Upgraded to warning from northern CA to Oregon border.

GF is saying ā€œOMG Tsumani is coming!ā€ and I’m saying perhaps 6 inches at most here. However, I am basically on the beach and within the local ā€œtsunami evacuation zone.ā€ If things get hairy in Seattle, I’ll start packing.

la harbors face at an angle that is generally favorable to any tsunami warning

Is the Puget Sound at risk for tsunamis? Seems like it would be naturally protected.

Probably only The Big One on the Cascadia subduction zone.

8.8 is big, but it’s not devastate the whole Pacific big.

Northern puget sound is in the advisory zone, so Everett northward. Seattle won’t see anything.

it’s possible it ends up rather calm at hawaii as well but obviously no point in doing anything else but make sure people are off the coast until… the coast is clear.

They’re flying damn planes and helicopters overhead for last 20 mins. Nothing to see here afaik. I said ā€œSeattleā€ but I basically mean population areas closer than so cal.

Closing Seal Beach pier. (which closes at 10pm anyway.)

Video showing how a woman and man are impacted by 30cm and 40cm tsunami waves, respectively.

6 inches of rushing water can sweep away cars.

It’s not a 6 inch wave pushed by the wind. It’s a 6 inch wave from a 10K amplitude. That shit will kill somebody 5 miles inland if given the chance.

I think you mean wavelength? But yeah, a 6 inch high wave from tides or wind or shit with a short wavelength is ā€œbucketsā€ of water, but from a tsunami with a massive wavelength, you’re talking about a lakes’ worth of water. Even more not something to fuck with than the Wu-Tang Clan.
