I'm seeing lots of boats exiting the harbor, presumably to enter the ocean where any tsunami effects will be lessened?

- adastra22 2y agoPresumably, but this is near the focal point of the earthquake, and surge should have arrived 8 minutes ago as I write this. No indication of any water level change. I think this was a false positive.

- chrisbrandow 2y agotypically, yes. Tsunamis are usually unnoticeable away from the shore. They aren't like a massive, traveling, cresting wave. They are usually a pulse of high energy that can move a lot of water just a few feet, which can be devastating when it reaches the shore because it is relentless as it moves up to that height.
