This quake wasn't nearly large enough to produce a tsunami.

Strat when you live on a coastal area literally and you are in "the quake" you don't ponder if it was a 7+ and when your town doesn't do well in getting info out to the community and USGS takes lately longer to post the whereabouts and magnitude you simply decide wether to get your family into tsunami evac mode.

An aquaintance works for a guy who is a volenteer fireman and he evacuated his whole business and went to higher ground untill he got word of how and where the quake was.

I have to load my adult son into a wheechair which takes time esp if he is excited and load into the van the lift goes at it's own pace.

I called 911 in the Oregon quake and she said to leave my scanner on that she would announce evac or not and she did withen 10 min. so I did not load him up.

So see after one can go thank God it was not a biggee, but during you make plans as if it was.

My friend who lives half a mile down the road has decided we have the best road to go up for safe ground and if it was a huge disaster there is a trail that leads from the top of our hill over to Toledo inland it maybe a 8 miles hike but it has been done by bad guys out running the cops once.
