Tsunami DID hit

You probably remember the news stories about the called off Tsunami warning this past week after the 8.1 earthquake in Japan. Well it turns out it was called off a little too soon, as there was rapid water draw back and then a 6 foot surge which did cause significant dock damage in the town of Crescent City, CA.

Local paper, The Triplicate has a story putting the damage at around $700K.

NOTE: I updated this. Crescent City is in CA not OR as I had previsouly said. :-)
