South Bay Tsunami - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

On the evening news tonight they showed the damaged caused by the Mission Bay bait barge when it came loose and collided with a dock due to the tidal surge. It not only damaged the dock but also quite a few boats, too.

Pat Abbott, the geologist from SDSU who is usually interviewed after these types of events, was saying the bays and harbors commonly sustain more damage the the coasts as the water is in a confined space and has no place to go.

They also showed some footage of the tidal surge up in L.A. harbor (Santa Monica, I think). It looked worst than down here as you could see a wall of water pushing some loose skiffs around like toys.

BTW, GO AZTECS!!!
