culvercitycruiser Posted January 15, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I just woke up to the news stating that an underwater volcano near Tonga erupted. We are getting on the Majestic this morning. I hope that all goes well in the Los Angeles Harbor. There are advisories for 1-2 feet waves from 7:30am until about 8:00am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local news may be blowing things out of proportion. I live in the LA area Yes…apparently blown out of proportion. Hawaii is much closer & any affects were over 5 hours ago. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center earlier said there was no threat to Hawaii from the eruption, which did trigger tsunami waves in Tonga. There was no immediate word on damage. https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/app/2022/01/15/tsunami-advisory-issued-hawaii-following-eruption-tonga-no-major-waves-expected/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jwattle Posted January 15, 2022 #5 Share Posted January 15, 2022 We live on the coast in Northern California, and the warning is still in effect:" If you are located in this coastal area move off the beach and out of harbors and marinas. " They have advised that no evacuations are necessary, just some larger waves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Flyer Posted January 15, 2022 #8 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Hawaii experienced up to 2.7 foot tsunami waves & Monterrey, CA 0.7 feet. Beaches and piers were closed across Southern California as a precaution but the National Weather Service tweeted there were “no significant concerns about inundation.” Strong rip currents were possible, however, and officials warned people to stay out of the water. https://www.staradvertiser.com/2022/01/14/breaking-news/tonga-issues-tsunami-warning-after-undersea-volcano-erupts-no-tsunami-threat-for-hawaii/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Flyer Posted January 15, 2022 #11 Share Posted January 15, 2022 As to be expected it was much worse in Tonga & other nearby island nations. This video also shows satellite images of this underwater volcano eruption along the Ring of Fire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ferry_Watcher Posted January 15, 2022 #12 Share Posted January 15, 2022 My WA town closed its beaches, fishing pier and told the live aboards in the marina to leave their boats. They anticipated a water rise of 1-3 feet. There was additional concerns about strong currents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nini Posted January 15, 2022 #13 Share Posted January 15, 2022 We are on a narrow peninsula in northern Washington State. Our peninsula is 2 miles wide and 6 miles long. We had the "tsunami advisory" warning us to stay away from the beach ( a mile away from our house). LOL! Our recent King Tide waves were 12 feet high. These tsunami waves were to be 1-4 feet high. The police (all two of them per shift) have closed our beach entrances. I am grateful that it was only an advisory. What is strange though, is that the fog rolled in this morning after it had been nice and sunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The location and shape allows water to pile up as it is driven into it.
