Feb. 27th, 2010 03:42 pmAccording to NOAA the Tsunami from the Chilean earthquake should be passing our coast right in the next few minutes a few hours ago (someone distracted me before I posted this). However, since the waves are mostly perpendicular to the flooding, the major warning here is for strong currents.
( OC warning... )
The tsunami wave is perpendicular to the coast, so shouldn't affect us too much. Not so sure about Hawaii or parts of Alaska though. I can't believe another strong earthquake so soon after Haiti...
Meanwhile, we're getting another El Niño storm and it's been downpouring off and on all day. The high surf warnings from that seemed to be higher priority than the tsunami advisory.
