TSUNAMI WARNING!

www.wetsand.com just sent me this.. Take a look.


Tsunami Warning
Date: Tuesday September 29, 2009
Time: 4:45 PM
An 8.3-magnitude quake struck at 17:48 GMT (10:48 PDT), generating 5.1ft waves in Apia and Pago Pago, American Samoa. This has, according to the BBC, resulted in at least 20 deaths there.
The National Weather Service has issued a Tsunami Advisory for all coastal areas of California and Oregon.
According to the NWS warnings, a possible Tsunami could hit the SoCal coast around 9:30 this evening. This wave event is not a surfable event, but instead, should be viewed with caution. Although wave size has not been great, the surge could penetrate inland, so coastal flooding is of concern. Please note also that the Tsunami may only generate a few inches of height for the California coast, but caution is still warranted, and the NWS and Tsunami warning center are continuing their advisories at this time.
For more information, please visit the NOAA Tsunami Warning Centerat wcatwc.arh.noaa.gov.

WOW just a heads up!  Would be gnarly to see!


PEACE!
