I know the tsunami projected for Half Moon Bay is only supposed to be three feet and isn’t supposed to pose a major threat, and our house is actually sheltered by Pillar Point so the tsunami zone starts about 1/4 mile south of us, but it still bugs the shit out of me. Enough for me to wake my wife up a half hour ago to tell her to listen to the radio in case the forecast changed and there was evidence the surge could grow and backwash into the harbor.

It’s also a relatively low tide cycle right now - which is helpful. And voluntary evacuations in our part of the coast are simply to cross over to the side of Highway 1 where we already live.
