I'm at work looking at some of the live feeds...this is insane. They did mention tsunami warnings for Hawaii, Mexico, Chile, Australia and a few other places, I'm sure our coast should see a surge of water as well.

I know that as of about 2 am the OC sheriffs were shutting down access to all OC beaches. donno what SD is doing. I know ill be down at the DP harbor. Last year when that quake hit Chile I was living in Monterey and i saw this footage this guy posted standing by Wind N Sea on Youtube....unreal the ripping current. imagine trying to paddle out through that shit...

Disclaimer: I live life to the height of my potential---so take my advice with a grain of salt.




If you're talking about La Jolla, though---expect the largest 2' wave you've ever seen :eek:. I'm willing to bet that if you blink, you might miss it. So pay close attention!

I'll be doing my part today by lowering the water level---pulling giant fish out of the ocean. :biggrinjester:

That video of Dana Point was impressive. That CG(?) boat was struggling to get out of the harbor.

Anyone have anything about SD?

Found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ogQeKn-F_o&NR=1&feature=fvwp
That video link is from 2010 - didn't notice until now.
I wonder what dropped gear you could find during the low point?
