What the heck is a Tsunami?
Well our TV is going nuts with warnings of a Tsunami coming our way. We are at 100 feet and four miles from the ocean so I think we are okay, but they want folks to evac. First an earthquake and now this. Might as well move to hurricane country.
See you guys soon..we are heading to high ground and it is supposed to hit in an hour or so. San Francisco gets hit first and we have a half hour after that.
