Tsunami waves in Carlsbad, CA?

by Jacque on February 27, 2010

Tsunami waves heading for Southern California?

Drove the 5 miles to the coast this morning, parked along the cliffs above Carlsbad beach to watch and record the change in waves along the beach.  The Tsunami waves were expected to be in this area between 12:05- 12:10 pm.  Took a video of the changes.  Not much change though and the day was rainy!
