Tsunami Wait

News trickles in from Hawaii, where damage reported so far hasn't been extensive, but tsunami activity has continued. This suggests that whatever happens here hasn't happened yet. Some authorities are saying we should have seen most of the activity by noon, a bit more than three hours from now, but that will also be high tide, so wave action could be amplified by that.

There are reports of some damage in Crescent City harbor, but nothing yet here in Humboldt.

The reports from Japan continue to be horrific. That nuclear plant with the cooling problem is apparently okay now, but reports that a dam has broken and washed away homes. Turbulence offshore continues, and there were more than 50 "aftershocks," which measured stronger than most earthquakes.

So we wait.
