Tsunami Warning on the North West Coast
 

Hope everyone in the affected areas (like here) has their emergency prepared kits ready and has included doggy kits in it...

For those of you not currently in this area a good time to think about adding (if you do not have it) a doggy survival kits to your hazard/disaster preparedness kits...

Here all local schools, businesses and areas of highways/roads are closed...some areas are being evacuated...fun way to wake up :rolleyes: ...to tsunami hazard sirens and emergency broadcast alerts on TV...we are almost 1/2 mile out of the coastal hazard zone, so we're fine here.

LOL, some crazy surfers are hitting the beach though...:confused:

Hope you all stay safe. Do you live far from the beach?

Hope you stay safe.
It's so very sad what has happend. :(

This is a sad sad situation. Im watching it on the news right now. I hope everyone stays safe

Hope you stay safe. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

I pray for your safety. My son is a "crazy surfer." Lol. Thankfully, he does know better than to go anywhere near the beach right now. This has to be scary for everyone involved. Be safe!!

Stay safe and be smart

Prayers to ALL who have been affected by this terrible thing and ALL who may be affected. STAY SAFE ! and Please update when you can so every one here knows you are safe. You are in our thoughts.

omg... I am sending prayers.... please please take care...

I have 2 extra bedrooms (florida) and I love dogs

We are in Washington, but not on the coast thankfully... but have been affected by this in a different way. My dad is stuck in Tokyo (on a business trip). He was in the airport when the earthquakes happened and luckily was not hurt. He will be hopefully flying out today. We just all want him home safe and sound :(

so glad your dad is ok...

all of you are in my prayers!!!!!

Stay safe! So very sad, saying prayers for all.

Oh, thank goodness he is safe. I'll bet he will have many stories to tell once he's safely home. Bet you cannot wait to get your arms around him!

Praying for his safe return and prayers for everyone on the west coast!!!

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.
