Tsunami Alert Vallarta

Post by webmaster » Fri Mar 11, 2011 3:23 pm

Please note the alerts related to the strong earthquake and tsunami that occurred in Japan. I've heard reports recommending 10 meters height as a security measure.

A little worried?

I appreciate the posting. We're supposed to arrive tomorrow, during the "alert" (which doesn't sound that specific). I haven't found any scientifically-based information about anything that isn't U.S. But within that, the urgency seems to taper off the farther south they go.

So I'll just blurt it out and ask: are people hoofing it?

Seek and ye shall find. I did find something giving a clue as to when the pulse will reach the Mexican coast. Approx event plus 13-14 hours. So if that was 9:46 p.m. PST, something could be happening already. Any reports?

Apparently the time for the surge has come and gone with no effects other than an eleven inch surge. So all is well in PV.

The harbor was closed and people were kept off the beaches in PV.

It is not over here in So Cal yet, surges are continuing to occur and they expect them to continue for a few more hours. Our news copters were reporting all morning and showed some amazing local photos of Ventura harbor and as it moved down the coast from Northern Calif through So. Cal. Three guys in No. Cal. decided to go out and watch it and were swept away, two managed to swim back to shore and one is missing and they are searching for him. Quite a bit of damage done in Santa Cruz, Calif. marina where boats were torn away from their docks and hit each other, sank, capsized, swept into a bridge.

The problem in PV seems to be the boats are not being given much info by the Harbor Master. As I said the surges are continuing to happen here in So. Cal so it is not a one time event and over with.
