Thats what I was thinking, like seattle would be pretty protected as well.
But isn't it crazy, all the tsunami's, earthquakes, tornadoes (in cali?!) etc?? I'm not saying I believe this, but some would say, the apocolypse is coming...

havent they just proved recently that if a tsunami ever were to hit our coast we would still be extremely effected because the water wouldnt just simply smash into the island but also go around it because of how much force it carries?
saw it on the discovery channel or some shit like that. anyways, i think if one were headed our way we'd have a bit more of a warning then a website on the internet.

my dad watches the late night news before headin to bed everynight, he woulda definately said something or had been interested....(we live about 3/4 km from the ocean) either way, if it was happening, there would be the emergency messages with the long beeeeeeeeep and the man talking on tv and radio.
