International Entire west coast under tsunami watch

Good thing Trump did budget and staffing cuts at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Weather Service (NWS) making our country's ability to effectively forecast and respond to extreme weather events In needed time much less effective to prepare for stuff like this .

More winning .

*8.7 earthquake in Russia causes Tsunami warnings in Hawaii, Japan, and the west coast of the United States*

*BUT TRUMP*
 
I really just hope Trump doesn’t tweet out that this is why he built a golf course is Scotland and not Hawaii, or something WEIRD like that. He and Vance are just weird

I think you know very little about me at all.
Your cell service and internet isn't even remotely what I'm on about.
I backed out last minute from buying a house in NorCal so remote the house was 20 minutes away from anyone and internet/cell would die routinely every winter for days at a time.

You literally don't understand that people rely on radio for weather, and that's on you. Not me.

I do understand we lose it all the time thats why I have the radio and a generator. That doesn't mean anything and people use dish TV in areas because thats all there is available. I have live in rural areas more then you I would guess so I understand it more then you .
 
So looks like government is forecasting even LA to experience tsunami effects, as advisory is morn than a “tsunami watch”, as it is advising on it coming.

Link in the second tweet is the official federal government site

Literally the only reason I didn't buy the house was how remote it was, we took into consideration a generator but if you lose power for over a weeek which used to happen there, what do you do? You can't work, if there's a medical emergency you're buggered, the wild fires up there were off the hook to the point of $6k a year insurance.
 
If anyone needs a place to crash I got a shack In the backyard you can pass out at

So because you live in a city, you're alright? What about the very remote towns in the middle of nowhere who rely on radio?

You're so gullible its sad. Try to keep the TDS in check

Next you will ask , what about the LBGTQ+ kids hotline they won't know what to do in a tsunami



NOAA Weather Radio in Rural AreasNOAA Weather Radio (NWR) remains the most reliable source for tsunami warnings, as it broadcasts directly from the National Weather Service (NWS).
  • Humboldt/Del Norte Counties (North Coast):
    • Station: KEC-82 (Eureka)
    • Frequency: 162.400 MHz
    • Coverage: Humboldt, Del Norte, and parts of Mendocino counties, including rural areas like Crescent City and Ferndale.
  • Mendocino County:
    • Station: WXM-86 (Point Arena)
    • Frequency: 162.475 MHz
    • Coverage: Coastal Mendocino County, including Fort Bragg and rural inland areas.
  • Monterey/San Luis Obispo Counties:
    • Station: KEC-62 (Monterey)
    • Frequency: 162.550 MHz
    • Coverage: Rural coastal areas like Big Sur, Cambria, and parts of San Benito County.
  • Santa Barbara (Rural South Coast):
    • Station: WXK-67 (Santa Barbara)
    • Frequency: 162.475 MHz
    • Coverage: Rural areas like Gaviota and parts of San Luis Obispo County.
Tips for Rural Reception:
  • Get a Quality Radio: Use a NOAA Weather Radio with a strong antenna. Models with SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding) technology filter alerts for your county.
  • External Antenna: In areas with weak signals (common in rural regions), attach an external antenna to your radio to boost reception. Place it high and clear of obstructions.
  • Check Coverage: Visit www.weather.gov/nwr and use the “Stations and Coverage” tool to find the closest NWR transmitter. Rural areas may rely on distant stations, so test reception in advance.
  • Backup Power: Keep spare batteries or a hand-crank radio, as rural power outages are common during emergencies.
Local AM/FM Radio in Rural AreasRural areas may have fewer local radio stations, but some relay Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages, including tsunami warnings, from the NWS. Examples of stations serving rural coastal regions include:
  • North Coast (Humboldt/Del Norte): KHSU 90.5 FM (Arcata), KMUD 91.1 FM (Garberville).
  • Mendocino: KZYX 90.7 FM (Philo), covering rural Mendocino County.
  • Central Coast (San Luis Obispo/Monterey): KCBX 90.1 FM (San Luis Obispo), serving rural areas like Morro Bay and Big Sur.
Challenges:
  • Rural stations may not broadcast 24/7 or may have limited range. Identify stations in advance using a radio guide or online directory (e.g., radio-locator.com).
  • If no local stations are available, try picking up signals from nearby urban areas (e.g., Eureka for Humboldt County or Monterey for Big Sur).
Marine VHF Radio for Coastal Rural AreasIf you’re near the coast (e.g., rural fishing communities), use a marine VHF radio to monitor Channel 16 (156.800 MHz) for U.S. Coast Guard tsunami warnings. This is especially useful for boaters or coastal residents in remote areas like Shelter Cove or Point Arena.Alternative Warning Methods in Rural AreasSince radio signals can be unreliable in rural California, supplement with:
  • Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA): These are sent to mobile phones in targeted areas, but cell service can be spotty in rural zones. Ensure alerts are enabled (Settings > Notifications > Government Alerts on most phones).
  • Satellite Phones or Radios: In very remote areas (e.g., rural Mendocino or Humboldt backcountry), satellite phones or radios can receive alerts if cell and radio signals fail.
  • Community Networks: Rural communities often have local emergency plans. Check with your county’s Office of Emergency Services (OES) for siren systems or community alert networks. For example, Del Norte County uses CodeRED for text/email alerts.
  • Natural Signs: In rural areas, you may need to rely on natural tsunami warning signs: a strong or long earthquake (lasting over a minute), a loud ocean roar, or sudden ocean withdrawal. If you notice these, evacuate to high ground (100+ feet above sea levelArs or inland) immediately, even without a radio warning.
Current Tsunami Advisory (July 30, 2025)A Tsunami Advisory is in effect for California’s coast due to an 8.8-magnitude earthquake off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, affecting rural coastal areas from Del Norte to San Diego counties. Expected wave heights are 1-3 feet, with no major inundation. Monitor NOAA Weather Radio or local stations for updates. Example arrival times:
  • Crescent City: ~12:00 AM PDT
  • Monterey: 12:15 AM PDT
  • Santa Barbara: ~1:00 AM PDTStay away from beaches and harbors and listen for updates
 
Checked with a friend in Hawaii and they are preparing and moving out. Didnt have time to give any details as they were driving. Sounds like they are taking this seriously there.

Not sure if being sarcastic or not and you've been through worse.

I live on a military testing site who had a terrible earthquake in 2019, every boom which is a test people who lived through the quake have PTSD thinking it's happening again. I was warned about moving here because of that quake.

Do you think I'm going to read all of that?
 
We're waiting to see what happens with Hawaii, but we are in Huntington Beach, which is a South facing beach. I think we should be totally cool.

I was off the pier and on Main Street tonight at the Tuesday Night Street Fair... I drank a pitcher of beer at the brewery with my son and then had a good walk enjoying the music, food, and peeps. Good times. They closed the pier and beaches. It's been totally flat (Lake Huntington) this week, which is sad as the U.S. Open Surf Championships is on. The timing couldn't be worse for such bad surf conditions. We are going free diving this weekend in Laguna.

No idea what you're trying to say ... you can till clearly that was a list of all rural radio stations , i scanned it for 15 seconds. It takes 1 minute to read. If the earth is crashing into the sun for you why are you shit posting on Sherdog...... Stop being a loser..
 
I live too far inland to worry, but if it's bad enough, I'll suddenly have beach front property!
