Lapush is about an hour and 20 minute drive from my house.
It doesn’t look like weather had anything to do with the event.
Here is what it looks like today. http://www.forkswa.com/webcam2/netcam.jpg
James Island is the rock on the right with the 3 trees on top.
At least they are not far from the beach and their is a CG station in Lapush. The CG crew in Port Angels can fly there within about 20 minutes in this weather. There is also a CG station in Neah Bay, about a 10 minute flight from the SW, so there should be plenty of serious help in positions to quickly respond with short ETA’s.
There is a hospital in Port Angeles, but if any injured have anything more than a paper cut, they will be taken to Seattle.
It’s a bit cooler than where I live, but it’s near 80* here today and expected to be 85 to 90* tomorrow.
Prayers for the crew......
their is a CG=there is a CG
As far as I know, the only CG air station in the area is in Port Angeles. The next closest would be in Astoria, OR. There are many more small boat stations up and down the coast, but they don’t have much in the way of facilities for aircraft.
There was something airborne in line with and maybe 1/2 mile offshore of the rock on the left about 7-8 minutes ago.
2 inflatable boats just left the shore
