[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am located in SoCal (San Diego) & I have gotten tsunami warnings on my phone but so far in my area at least (!) everything is still pretty calm + on the news front I haven’t seen or heard anything so that is great news for us. 😃[/quote]
Is there an ETA? I don’t presume to understand how tsunami’s work, but I’m curious how it works.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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 &gt; this likely will pass.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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.

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. [/quote]

It is absolutely scaremongering to reference the Texas flash floods when discussing a Santa Barbara tsunami [i]advisory[/i]. 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.

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

Literally everyone is saying follow the local authorities NOT what people on DCUM are saying. [/quote]

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

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. [/quote]
