[pixilatedpussy]

Wtf??? I was just watching t.v. with my boys and O.C. and Mexico have had a Tsunami warning issued!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does anyone else know about this??? :confused: :cry:

Wtf??? I was just watching t.v. with my boys and O.C. and Mexico have had a Tsunami warning issued!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does anyone else know about this??? :confused: :cry:
they had an earthquake off the oregon coast, and the last time it hit in that area (in the 60's) it caused a tsunami...so they have the warning until 10pm tonight

[Mandelon]

Ocean Front property here I come...WoooHoooo!

Holy crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :2purples:

[WetWillie]

Do I need to load the car??

Thats still kinda scary...u know? :skull:

[WetWillie]

I watched a discovery show and they mentioned a earthquake large enough could cause land slide on the mountain range that runs up the california cost.
The silt build up is so large that it would cause a Tsunami that would come in 200 miles!! So Yuma is ocen front!

Major Quake Strikes Off California Coast 3 minutes ago
EUREKA, Calif. - A major earthquake struck Tuesday night about 80 miles off the coast of northern California.
The 7.0-magnitude quake struck at about 7:50 p.m. southwest of the coastal community of Crescent City, according to the U.S. Geological Survey Web site.

Come Hell or Highwater: Scientists at the California Department of Emergency Services say that major tsunamis (erroneously referred to as "tidal waves") have ripped into California's coastline with regularity every 200 to 500 years. The last one happened 300 years ago.

These giant sea waves cause major damage to seacoasts around the world. In the past decade alone, tsunamis have killed more than 4,000 people. Yet scientists don't really know how many of the gargantuan waves have been caused by underwater landslides -- as opposed to earthquakes -- or how they get started.
"We understand snow avalanches far better than we understand submarine landslides," says Costas Synolakis of the California Institute of Technology, who is one of the world's leading tsunami experts.
"It was the Papua New Guinea event that made it clear that landslide tsunamis are a far greater hazard than what we had thought," he said. "We are really at the turning point of a new science, and we are trying to make educated guesses."
One of those making educated guesses is Steven N. Ward, a research geophysicist at the University of California at Santa Cruz. He calls the deadly waves caused by such undersea landslides "surprise tsunamis," because they strike with none of the warning signals that mark large earthquakes.
Using an intricate computer program, Ward has estimated the sizes of tsunamis that were generated thousands to millions of years ago by landslides. Recent sonar surveys reveal the remains of those slides in huge areas of disturbed seafloor.
800-FOOT SCARS
During recent oceanographic voyages, scientists have discovered that one such landslide scar is at least 800 feet thick and covers nearly 9,000 square miles of the ocean bottom off what is now Nuuanu on the north coast of Oahu in Hawaii. It is all that remains of a Hawaiian volcano that erupted some 2.7 million years ago and sent its side crashing into the sea, setting off enormous tsunamis whose waves Ward has modelled in a computer study.
"After 18 minutes, the slide, barely half complete, set the ocean in full turmoil," Ward said. He estimates that waves nearly 200 feet high from trough to peak must have slammed the coasts of Oahu and Molokai within minutes.
In an hour, 130-foot waves reached the islands of Maui, Hawaii and Molokai. And 4 1/2 hours later, the front waves would have reached the Aleutians and the coasts of California and Oregon with waves still 65 feet high, Ward estimated recently in the Journal of Geophysical Research.
Synolakis called Ward's computer-based estimates of tsunamis caused by landslides "excellent, careful, pioneering work treading where nobody has been before."
Ward also worked with geologist Simon Day of University College in London to predict what could happen if the highly unstable Cumbre Viejo volcano in the Canary Islands were to erupt laterally, spewing the entire mass of its rocky side into the sea in one enormous landslide.
It would send as much as 120 cubic miles of rock sliding into the sea and create a wave train that would cross the Atlantic in only eight hours. Although barely perceptible as it sped over the broad ocean's deep waters, the tsunami would build to waves 80 feet high crashing over the Florida coast, Ward and Day calculated in a report published in this month's issue of Geophysical Research Letters.
SCARE TACTICS?
"We're not running these computer numbers to scare people," Ward said in an interview. "But surprise tsunamis need to be a lot better understood, and people on every coast need to be prepared for them."
A tsunami -- the word means "harbor wave" in Japanese -- moves with incredible speed: more than 500 mph over deep water. But in the open ocean, it is barely perceptible at only inches to a few feet high.
When it reaches shallow waters and approaches the shore, the waves' speed slows down to about 25 mph -- "about the speed of a moped," Ward says -- and the wave height grows dramatically. Records of past tsunamis that have crashed on land show wave heights hundreds of feet high.
Ward has just created a new computer model of a hypothetical tsunami that might be triggered if one of the steep walls of the Monterey Canyon that snakes 60 miles out to sea beneath Monterey Bay suddenly were to plunge a mile and a half to the canyon's bottom.
Evidence of old landslides on the canyon's floor -- one of them covering more than 80 square miles -- is well known. Working with geologist Gary Greene of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, Ward has used that evidence to create his new computer model.
In the scenario, Ward theorizes a landslide -- perhaps triggered by a large earthquake on the nearby San Gregorio Fault -- that gouges out a chunk of the canyon wall 600 feet thick near its head and tumbles down at a speed of more than 100 mph for 15 miles. "The entire event takes eight minutes to run its course," he said.
The water churned up by the landslide, Ward calculates, would create tsunamis whose leading waves -- reaching the shore at about 30 mph -- would tower as high as 50 to 80 feet on the Monterey side of the bay and 30 to 50 feet high at Santa Cruz.
Ward and Greene caution that their simulation does not mean that any such event is imminent. Indeed, so far there is no evidence along the shores of the Monterey Bay -- nor in the 2,500 acres of Elkhorn Slough that snakes inland from Moss Landing -- that any major tsunamis have ever swept ashore from the canyon.
"But there have indeed been submarine landslides up near the head of the canyon in the past, so we can't be certain," Greene said. "Now we have to marry the geology to the model to get a much clearer picture of what might happen."

I agree with Kilr. It won't happen here. The shape of the coastline prevents it.

[NOTALENT]

Might as well grab my surfboard and get ready...a ride of a life time... :D

[sdpm]

I was on the phone with my parents when it hit. They live in Brookings OR. which is about 20 mi north of Cresent City. They live just 4 mi inland from the coast. He was talking to me while it was happening and he was saying it was shaking pretty good. They are from San Diego so they are kind of use to them and he said that he has felt bigger. I was telling him to be on alert for a tidal wave! He has the radio on and the T.V. and has heard nothing!! Not that has me worried. There is a big campground and New hotel in town right on the beach. I'm wondering if they are having people move as a precaution. If anyone hears of anything please let me know. Thanks Neil

[pixilatedpussy]

Turned on 9...OMG! My inlaws just called from Huntington...freaking out!

CRESCENT CITY, Calif. - A major earthquake struck Tuesday night about 80 miles off the coast of northern California, prompting a tsunami warning along the Pacific coast.
The 7.0-magnitude quake struck at about 7:50 p.m. southwest of the coastal community of Crescent City, according to the U.S. Geological Survey Web site.
A tsunami warning was in effect from the California-Mexico border north to Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
KCBS radio reported that residents were being evacuated from low-lying areas of Crescent City, which was struck by a tsunami after an earthquake four decades ago.
Stuart Weinstein, a geologist at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, said that if a tsunami were generated, it would not be as strong as the Dec. 26 killer wave in the Indian Ocean.
"We're not expecting anything huge from an event this size," added Charles McCreery, the center's director.
Scientists were waiting for signs of any powerful ocean waves to reach tide gauges placed up and down the West Coast, Weinstein said.
"We're monitoring our sea gauges pretty carefully," he said.
In the spring of 1963, a magnitude-8.4 quake in Alaska generated tsunamis that caused damage there and in British Columbia, and in the states of Washington, California and Hawaii. More than 120 died.
Hardest hit was Crescent City, where 11 people were killed after waves reaching as much as 20 feet destroyed half of the waterfront business district.

Do I need to load the car??
forget the car load the boat :hammer2:

[Boatcop]

We went through a Tsunami in Hawaii in the mid 80's. I was just returning from a 3 month patrol and Kathy and the kids were evacuated from our house in Ewa Beach.
They went up to high ground with the neighbors, all the kids, dogs, cats and a chest full of beer and wine coolers.
We stayed off shore and just cruised back and forth for several hours until the wave hit.
All 2 inches of it.
Kathy said they got a kick out of watching us go back and forth a few miles off shore.
I think the weather gurus are playing it safe with this one. After what happened in Indonesia, I think they'd call out a warning if someone threw a pebble in the ocean. Just to be on the safe side.
Either way. Good luck to the Coastal Dwellers. I think the Sandbar will make a nice point break. Surfs Up Dude!

[STV_Keith]

Cancelled, 9:30 pm

[pixilatedpussy]

Thank goodness............. :wink:

[Debbolas]

Well,
think about it, Huntington Beach has south facing beaches.....
so..........They would probably be ok...my folks live off of Atlanta, and PCH, kinda close :frown:
I called them, and my dad hadn't even heard about it :rollside:

I think the weather gurus are playing it safe with this one. After what happened in Indonesia, I think they'd call out a warning if someone threw a pebble in the ocean. Just to be on the safe side.
Either way. Good luck to the Coastal Dwellers. I think the Sandbar will make a nice point break. Surfs Up Dude!
LET me guess they were CALIFORNIA WINE COOLERS

I wonder how there going to explain this one regarding the so called
" EarthQuake Weather". All I know is that there probably will have one more.
Like they say things happen in threes.

Yes I agree, BUT IT WONT HAPPEN IN OUR LIFE TIME.....
Or maybe right at the end of it. A large wave travelling dozens of miles inland would kill millions.
Our lifetimes span a mere speck of history. Just becasue we haven't ever witnessed it doesn't mean it can't or won't happen. But I agree the odds are slim statistically.

WHAT HAPPENED TO WERE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED what :wink:
Well we still are... just doooooomed to be in our boats on the ocean when the big waves come... DOH! :sqeyes:

[Kiddunot]

I was thinking of going to get the boat so i have a means of transportation to work in the morning.......

[deltarat]

It is amazing how stupid people are. Up here in Northern Cal. there were people going to the beach to watch the thing come in, what these idiots didn't see the news about the last one.

CRESCENT CITY, Calif. - A major earthquake struck Tuesday night about 80 miles off the coast of northern California, prompting a tsunami warning along the Pacific coast.
The 7.0-magnitude quake struck at about 7:50 p.m. southwest of the coastal community of Crescent City, according to the U.S. Geological Survey Web site.
A tsunami warning was in effect from the California-Mexico border north to Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
KCBS radio reported that residents were being evacuated from low-lying areas of Crescent City, which was struck by a tsunami after an earthquake four decades ago.
Stuart Weinstein, a geologist at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, said that if a tsunami were generated, it would not be as strong as the Dec. 26 killer wave in the Indian Ocean.
"We're not expecting anything huge from an event this size," added Charles McCreery, the center's director.
Scientists were waiting for signs of any powerful ocean waves to reach tide gauges placed up and down the West Coast, Weinstein said.
"We're monitoring our sea gauges pretty carefully," he said.
In the spring of 1963, a magnitude-8.4 quake in Alaska generated tsunamis that caused damage there and in British Columbia, and in the states of Washington, California and Hawaii. More than 120 died.
Hardest hit was Crescent City, where 11 people were killed after waves reaching as much as 20 feet destroyed half of the waterfront business district.
Ok the last part here, is this what happened back then or now?

My guess is 1963.

No one really knows when these things will happen. Our problem is the Juan de Fuca plate that could create as much tidal movement as the recent indian ocean one. The city of Richmond [ where the vancouver intl airport is ] is below sea level and only a birm around it keep it from flooded by the ocean :rolleyes: .I keep my boats there in a warehouse and I have the boats sitting on the trailers with plugs in, ready to go anytime just in case :D :D :D . Port Alberni was flooded by the tsunami during the Alaska earthquake in the 60's.
