Californian here. I have gotten alerts too. You can see the estimated times in this article. However, I’ve seen a lot of warnings in my life and most are canceled or not a big deal.

We will see what happens when the surge hits Hawaii.

Yes as Californians we do get our fair share of tsunami warnings & usually nothing serious occurs.

I personally wouldn’t worry too much about it > this likely will pass.

This one should be taken seriously. It stemmed from a 8.8 earthquake. I can’t believe you would advise not to take a warning seriously after the flash flood warnings and resulting deaths in TX. That attitude is reckless.

I’m not PP but you need to not scaremonger. Santa Barbara is only under an advisory, not a warning, and these are very different.

https://www.countyofsb.org/4725/Tsunami-Advisory-Issued-for-Santa-Barbar

Obviously OPs kid should heed any advice given by local officials, and I do think this has the potential for serious damage in some areas, but right now, Santa Barbara is not likely to be one of those places.

It’s irresponsible to scaremonger as well as to ignore warnings.

Telling OP it’s likely no big deal is insane. Her kid likely knows nothing about tsunamis. She needs to tell her kid to follow what local authorities are saying, That I agree with. Taking this specific scenario seriously is not “scare mongering”. It’s being prudent.

It is absolutely scaremongering to reference the Texas flash floods when discussing a Santa Barbara tsunami advisory. You are very, very out of line here. The specific geographies really matter here. Hawaii is at a likely serious risk, some of Northern California/Oregon possibly as well. Santa Barbara, thus far, is just under advisory. This is very different than a warning. You need to back down.

- Coastal Californian

The estimated time of arrival is after midnight when many will be asleep. The advisory should not be ignored by those in coastal areas because some rando PP said “ I’ve seen a lot of warnings in my life and most are canceled or not a big deal.” This could become a warning after locals go to sleep. Important factors for this particular scenarios are that 1- this is the most powerful earthquake in decades and 2- it cause a shift of the ocean floor- which causes tsunamis.

If the advisory switches to warning level IN SANTA BARBARA, the very, very loud tsunami sirens and emergency phone alerts will be far more effective than your useless scaremongering on DCUM.

Have you ever actually lived through a coastal California tsunami warning? Heard a tsunami siren in real life? It seems obvious you have not. You are very out of line here. It is utterly bizarre that you think your pronouncements on DCUM are more important than what local authorities are saying.

Literally everyone is saying follow the local authorities NOT what people on DCUM are saying.

Then the fear-mongering poster self-importantly referencing the Texas floods while not understanding the first thing about how California tsunami warnings work should probably stop trying to uselessly scare people like OP, who specifically asked about Santa Barbara. That poster is gross, a tragedy vampire.

Shut up. Let the rest of us discuss the warnings and what is happening. You made your point 3 posts ago.

What a jerk you are, ghoul.

OP, as predicted by the actual Californians with tsunami experience, I’m sure your kid is fine and it was actually no big deal.

This is the attitude that makes people start to ignore advisories/watches/warnings. After the tragedy that happened in Texas, people in this area STILL ignored the flash flood warnings last week. People had to be rescued in Tysons, Arlington and various towns in Maryland. Just because it has not happened yet when you got a warning l does not mean that you shouldn’t take precautions just in case. Hawaii handled this perfectly – took it seriously got people out of there quickly and told them what would happen and how long it would take to be rescued if they did not hede the evacuation warnings. I am a former emergency manager and attitudes like yours really pissed me off. People don’t take it seriously and then scream when a tragedy happens. I don’t care that your past experience has “been fine “or “no big deal“. A warning means conditions are such that they could be ripe for a tragedy. A watch advisory means you need to keep alert in case it gets increased to warning. That’s not fear mongering.

I have to agree with this sentiment right here.

How dare someone bring up the tragic floods that permeated Texas in the same breath as a CA Tsunami “warning.” 😱
Seriously…..??
It should be criminal to actually do this…..

NP
The initial mention of the Texas floods was just advising ti to “take warnings seriously” in response to someone saying “ I personally wouldn’t worry too much about it > this likely will pass.”

How is it criminal to trust a warning!? It is just that a warning. It doesn’t mean something WILL happen. Just take it seriously that it MIGHT

Advisory. Not a warning yet.

NP and not a Californian. I just learned something new. There are 3 tiers of alerts-- Watch, Advisory, and Warning. Advisory is the midlevel.

There is no such thing as a tsunami “watch advisory,” ghoul.

And you don’t seem to understand that OP was asking about Santa Barbara, not Hawaii. You want people freaked out for your own cruelty and sense of self-importance, nothing more.

I am a former emergency manager and attitudes like yours really pissed me off. People don’t take it seriously and then scream when a tragedy happens. I don’t care that your past experience has “been fine “or “no big deal“. A warning means conditions are such that they could be ripe for a tragedy. A watch advisory means you need to keep alert in case it gets increased to warning. That’s not fear mongering.

There is no such thing as a tsunami “watch advisory,” ghoul.

And you don’t seem to understand that OP was asking about Santa Barbara, not Hawaii. You want people freaked out for your own cruelty and sense of self-importance, nothing more.

Use comprehension, a comma was left out. There are advisories, watches and warnings.

Californian here. I have gotten alerts too. You can see the estimated times in this article. However, I’ve seen a lot of warnings in my life and most are canceled or not a big deal.

We will see what happens when the surge hits Hawaii.

Yes as Californians we do get our fair share of tsunami warnings & usually nothing serious occurs.

I personally wouldn’t worry too much about it > this likely will pass.

This one should be taken seriously. It stemmed from a 8.8 earthquake. I can’t believe you would advise not to take a warning seriously after the flash flood warnings and resulting deaths in TX. That attitude is reckless.

I’m not PP but you need to not scaremonger. Santa Barbara is only under an advisory, not a warning, and these are very different.

https://www.countyofsb.org/4725/Tsunami-Advisory-Issued-for-Santa-Barbar

Obviously OPs kid should heed any advice given by local officials, and I do think this has the potential for serious damage in some areas, but right now, Santa Barbara is not likely to be one of those places.

It’s irresponsible to scaremonger as well as to ignore warnings.

Telling OP it’s likely no big deal is insane. Her kid likely knows nothing about tsunamis. She needs to tell her kid to follow what local authorities are saying, That I agree with. Taking this specific scenario seriously is not “scare mongering”. It’s being prudent.

It is absolutely scaremongering to reference the Texas flash floods when discussing a Santa Barbara tsunami advisory. You are very, very out of line here. The specific geographies really matter here. Hawaii is at a likely serious risk, some of Northern California/Oregon possibly as well. Santa Barbara, thus far, is just under advisory. This is very different than a warning. You need to back down.

- Coastal Californian

The estimated time of arrival is after midnight when many will be asleep. The advisory should not be ignored by those in coastal areas because some rando PP said “ I’ve seen a lot of warnings in my life and most are canceled or not a big deal.” This could become a warning after locals go to sleep. Important factors for this particular scenarios are that 1- this is the most powerful earthquake in decades and 2- it cause a shift of the ocean floor- which causes tsunamis.

If the advisory switches to warning level IN SANTA BARBARA, the very, very loud tsunami sirens and emergency phone alerts will be far more effective than your useless scaremongering on DCUM.

Have you ever actually lived through a coastal California tsunami warning? Heard a tsunami siren in real life? It seems obvious you have not. You are very out of line here. It is utterly bizarre that you think your pronouncements on DCUM are more important than what local authorities are saying.

Literally everyone is saying follow the local authorities NOT what people on DCUM are saying.

Then the fear-mongering poster self-importantly referencing the Texas floods while not understanding the first thing about how California tsunami warnings work should probably stop trying to uselessly scare people like OP, who specifically asked about Santa Barbara. That poster is gross, a tragedy vampire.

Shut up. Let the rest of us discuss the warnings and what is happening. You made your point 3 posts ago.

What a jerk you are, ghoul.

OP, as predicted by the actual Californians with tsunami experience, I’m sure your kid is fine and it was actually no big deal.

This is the attitude that makes people start to ignore advisories/watches/warnings. After the tragedy that happened in Texas, people in this area STILL ignored the flash flood warnings last week. People had to be rescued in Tysons, Arlington and various towns in Maryland. Just because it has not happened yet when you got a warning l does not mean that you shouldn’t take precautions just in case. Hawaii handled this perfectly – took it seriously got people out of there quickly and told them what would happen and how long it would take to be rescued if they did not hede the evacuation warnings.

Ah you’re the kid who strolled out last for the fire drill or tornado warning. It’s so cool to be cool I guess.

It’s people like you that cause people to ignore warnings. You cannot raise a five alarm warning in all situations, because people tune it out. This has been well studied, if you were interested in educating yourself, by emergency response planners.

When you are telling people that a tsunami advisory, which has very clear parameters, is like the Texas floods, you are behaving extremely irresponsibly. These are extremely different situations that require different response awareness.

It’s sort of like when there’s a hurricane warning for the gulf coast of Florida and it’s projected to go inland and north toward Carolinas before going out to sea. The map shows rain showers in the DC area, but you’re not at risk for a hurricane. It’s like that. The meteorologists are conservative because they don’t knew what they’re dealing with. Always better to be safe, but people in California knew. If you don’t get that, it’s fine.

I was trying ot show my daughter video of what a tsunami looks like but I am not seeing anything online in Hawaii.

Was it basically just a little higher tide than normal?
