Thanks everyone...yes we're totally fine here...about 5-15 minutes from the beaches here depends on if ya walk or drive...about a 1/2 mile almost in a straight line...but thers's a school, subdivision and some low level farm land between me and the beach..no view here unless we get on the roof and it's a clear day.
Technically the tsunami warning stays in effect for 12 hours but the first set of waves hit here almost 3 hours ago and it wasn't even worth the surf LOL about a 1 foot influx of wave traveling up the river about 100 yards I guess.
Better safe than sorry though.
I was really serious though I really hope everyone takes a moment to think about their own natural disasters (here it's tsunamis and earthquakes) and their disaster hazard "kits" etc and ensures they have an animal care section for their furbabies!
On another note I can't help but share...I can't believe how many teachers (school are closed by emergency warning agencies) I see on FB posting pics of themselves at the beach! I just know come Monday all the kids in school are going to be sharing their stories and teachers are going to have the talk about dister preparationa nd safety drills: get to high ground don't go to the beach....and some kid is going to raise their hand and say, "I saw the picture of you at the beach with your surf board!"
LOL! Poor teachers can't catch a break to surf when there's supposed to be decent waves. |
