Small tsunami wave train rolling into Natural Bridge(s) State Park, Santa Cruz, CA

Edit: Apparently these waves were not related to the tsunami. There was a big storm off the coast…

NOAA warns of the following:

High Surf Warning
Wind Advisory
High Wind Watch
Coastal Flood Watch
Hazardous Weather Outlook

Where, for example, High Wind Watch means winds 25-40 mph with gusts up to 60. Almost all week long.

I could not sleep in the storm last night. Perhaps because the thunder was so loud and so close that car alarms went off. And the windows rattled a lot.

It might also have to do with Antarctic boats. I’ve spent more than 3 months of the past year on a boat, and the last few storms I’ve been through like this made me nauseous, but also rocked me to sleep. I missed the rocking last night, which is good, since I’m in a house and not a boat.

Webcam and webcam.
