The warning is out there. Ignore it at your own peril.
Surf’s up!
Crescent City Harbor will be ready.
Not even big enought to attract the surfers.

GNARLY!
Veteran Calif. Surfer here:
These 15-65 cm reading for a tsunama are less substantial than the daily tide swings of near 6 ft. A non-event. Where I live a substantial tsunami would sweep me away. This one is a sleeper.Dont call your coastal relatives!
Will the shell picking be really good in the aftermath? Or will it just be a bunch of body parts, dead critters and hypodermic needles? ;)
(I used to live in coastal CA. I was always disappointed in the beach pickin’s.)
Let’s see how accurate the forecasters are. They don’t get much practice, thank goodness!
Not the time to take the dog for a run on a beach.. Not a NWS warning, but an advisory. Be smart and safe.
What no bales of weed?
