We’d throw money in a jar and predict the magnitude. Closest won the pot.

Reading on Twitter the entrance to Kodiak Bay is emptying. This is an unverified report. We’ll see.

Kodiak bay emptying? not good, when it does that the wave comes next. Seven minutes and it’ll hit here.

Checked looked at the KHON feed, they think the wave will only be a foot high.

The north shore of the west coast of Vancouver Island will get hit if this is bad. Few people live up there though, loggers, natives that’s about it. Rugged beautiful unforgiving country, lots of bears.

Everything I’m seeing suggests tsunami is a no show.

Nothing in Sitka, step-mom moved up the hillside and apparently lost phone signal—very poor coverage on best days, few people, 15 miles of road.

No, the words, “Phoenix, Arizona, 1949” brought the Coasters’ song two-steppin’ its way into my mind.

* THE FORECAST BASED ON THE EARTHQUAKE MECHANISM SHOWS NO THREAT FOR AREAS OF THE PACIFIC COVERED BY THIS PRODUCT.

I think this was more of a strike-slip fault, where it slides sideways across each other. I’m pretty sure for a large tsunami you need a vertical displacement of the seafloor.

The Indian Ocean earthquake with the huge tsunami had something like a 1000 km long fault and the one side was thrust up 30 feet or something! That is going to displace a LOT of water, which is more of the mechanism of the wave creation. Rather than just a shock wave caused by a quake with no large change in the seafloor. I think!?

Meant to say, with these places so close to the ocean, one doesn’t have much time to wait for more information. If you feel a quake you are supposed to move to high ground immediatly.

Some places on the Washington coast are only something like 7 minutes away from a tsunami when the “big one” hits. (Cascadia Subduction zone).

The Tsunami information page at NOAA is offline because of the government shutdown. That is going to piss some people off.
