Not quick enough.
Friends got warnings to evacuate ~ 90 minutes ago (not sure), with zero information about when the tsunami might arrive until about 45 minutes later.
My son was helping to evacuate employees at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk when the cancellation went out.
Good practice though.
As with tornado warnings, tough challenge maintaining responsiveness when data are incomplete. If they held off and there was a dangerous tsunami, acrimony would be enormous.
For sure. Good to have reminders along the coast from there north given the scope of the tsunami threat. I wrote endlessly about the Cascadia fault. The gaps can produce complacency. #mindthegap #greysky

And I understand why.
I was quibbling with how "quickly" the cancellation might have seemed for east coast friends.
