Be advised that officials will be clearing the beaches as a precaution. The warning for the Orange County coastline might result in wave conditions similar to the type we received from last year's earthquake from Chile. More than likely, we will experience a rise in wave height but it will be relatively small, with damage expected to be minimal.

Japan Earthquake 8.9 March 2011 |
TSUNAMI INFORMATIONTsunamis, also known as seismic sea waves, are a series of enormous waves created by an underwater disturbance such as an earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption, or meteorite. A tsunami can move hundreds of miles per hour in the open ocean and smash into land with waves as high as 100 feet or more.
