Entire Bay Area coastline, including the East Bay and Peninsula under #Tsunami watch per the NWS. @nbcbayarea

So I checked one of my YouTube channels who was on this
story by 2:00 A.M. saying that it happened about 1:45 AM EST
...so there is about a 4-5 hour lapse from the Alaska location
putting their time table in San Francisco around 6:00 to
7:00 A.M. EST (San Fran is on Pacific Time, tho.)

We should be getting news at least by that time about
San Francisco and the coastlines in around 1 or 2 hours.
I have relatives in that area, but not in touch right now.

We'll see.

Tsunami watch has been canceled for the West Coast. @nbcbayarea

Just like 2004 tsunami

@USGS
"The M 7.9 occurred as the result of strike slip faulting. At it's location, the Pacific plate is converging with the North America plate.

Over the preceding century, 11 other M7+ earthquakes have occurred within 600 km of today's earthquake."

"Unlike in December 2004 when a deadly tsunami — triggered by the magnitude-9.1 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake — swept over the Sumatran coastline, though, no significant tsunamis made landfall on April 11 and only a handful of earthquake-related fatalities were reported.

Scientists quickly identified why no tsunami had followed either the main shock or the magnitude-8.2 aftershock that hit two hours later: The earthquakes had occurred on strike-slip faults more than 400 kilometers offshore rather than on the Sunda megathrust fault"

Only San Fran to be hit.

Its a did!

Doom Off..Doom Off!

thank you

It certainly seems like a tall wave is out there though...

:5aguns::5adoom::5aguns:

this event should be over by now...why is there a thread of continuing threats about tsunami risk -- especially in Alaska and the west coast?

Holy crap.

Everyone in those areas stay safe.

Go to sleep and this happens.

Was thinking the same thing.

I bet there were a ton of boats trying to get to open sea.

Ok so now maybe someone will pay attention PSIGUY posted a while about this he told people in the Pacific north west to get out!

Also no one is reporting about this but if you use the app called my radar there is a no-fly zone in Alaska it's for a space launch I have been trying to get people to pay attention to that and nobody cares

Ah sure sleep it off

This past weekend someone had a post. About 60 foot waves on Oregon beaches.

Kinda handy no? ....

"Things that make you go Hmmm"

That's what she said.

I'm still alive in Kodiak. Looks like a big dud. Thank you God!

We don't have a full moon yet not even a partial one.
