Though hundreds lined the sea wall this morning around 8:40 AM (March 11, 2011) none of the people we spoke to noticed anything out of the ordinary occurring in the ocean at all.
“Here’s comes a set,” one view said, getting out his cellphone. “I’m going to send this to friends and tell them it’s the Tsunami.”
But according to a story in the San Francisco Chronicle it’s not over just yet:
U.S. Geological Survey scientist Lucy Jones warned that a tsunami does not just come and go as one surge. . . “We should not believe that the problem is over until well after noon,” Jones, chief scientist of the USGS Multi-Hazards Demonstration Project, told a press conference at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.
While many were disappointed that they didn’t get to see a big surge, most were thinking of how lucky they were compared to those in Japan who have suffered so much over the past 12 hours. Our thoughts continue to be with the people of Japan, especially those whose homes and/or family member have been lost to the the Tsunami.
