Along the California coast, waiting for the tsunami, worrying, curiosity, comedy

From Santa Monica Bay to Hawaii and beyond, coastal residents in Russia were filled with a day’s rise, which brought the tsunami warning to the wide Pacific Ocean.

The tsunami is expected to hit Hawaii and later hit the California coast. Southern California is expected to see only modest waves, but faraway California may see bigger waves.

Dockweiler State Beach

At Dockweiler, Aaron Travis and Maris Vellavura, two Australians visited California for a work trip, unaware of the tsunami consultation while they were wandering around.

They said they were strolling by the beach, saying they were enjoying the last few days of a trip to the United States that lasted for weeks.

They were surprised, but not worried.

“It’s nice to know this,” Travis said with a smile. “It’s really pretty good.

Connor Cunningham said he left the phone at home but began to regret it after learning about the consultation. He is the local Playa Vista and he ponders the possibilities.

“Like, do I even have a plan? Like, what if it happens?” he said. “The Playa Vista is a little low. If I were on the hill, I wouldn’t really be thinking about it, but maybe I should have planned it.”

Bianca and Josue Mendez, siblings and their friend Miguel Silva walk and ride a bike next to the beach. Bianca is visiting her brother in Nebraska and thinks visiting the beach might be fun.

She was very disappointed when those consultants threatened to commit indentation in these plans.

“I asked the AI, like, ‘Is it OK to go to the beach?'” Bianca said.

These three were surprised by the undisturbed beach players.

“I don’t think this will stop anyone,” Josu said.

Crescent City

In Crescent City, the Tsunami is a way of life in the remote northern port town, and the Tuesday night Barflies gathered at O’Pints Brewing Co. is definitely about the possibility of an impending disaster.

TV on the wall is still playing Giant Games and the CBS sitcom “Young Sheldon” instead of CNN or local news. About twenty customers were drinking and relaxing, although many were looking at their cell phones.

“People really don’t start doing too much until you hear the sirens.

It’s a far cry from his first tsunami rodeo.

Swift said customers commented on it when the region’s tsunami consultation escalated to tsunami warnings and then returned to their business.

“We get these a lot. Often, no one really panics,” Swift added.

O’Pints Port owner John Kirk picked up the phone and pointed out that while it was a method from the coastline since the rough, the bar was technically in the flood zone.

Kirk, who sends babies every day as the county’s only ob-gyn job, said he didn’t drink that night because he was on the phone.

He added that the atmosphere of Irish beer brewing is still quite chilly.

“If the water starts rolling towards us, then someone might run.”

Leidodo Beach

Manny Jimenez has worked for 42 years at Old Tony’s, a classic bar and seafood restaurant in Redondo Beach Pier.

This old-fashioned watering hole was built in 1952 on the Pacific Ocean, featuring souvenir Mai Tai glasses and faded photos of celebrities.

Jimenez, 65, is now the bar manager for Old Tony’s, about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday. He told The Times that he had never heard of a tsunami on the dock destroying business.

“Yes, yes, but not tsunamis,” he said. He noted that “15-foot, 20-foot waves” sometimes cause some damage before the dock was rebuilt after the catastrophic fire on May 27, 1988.

Jimenez said that due to the looming tsunami, the laid-back nightclub would not take any additional precautions and would be closed at midnight as usual.

“Everything will happen.

“But I believe we’ll be fine.”

Long Beach

The upcoming tsunami is a topic of discussion outside of Queen Mary, an iconic ship that has been docking at the port of Long Beach since 1967.

“You have three hours until the tsunami hits.” A man told his friends as he was about to leave.

One woman replied, “We’d better get out of here then.”

Nearby, Madison Aguilera, 21, stood outside the boat with her two friends, Azalia Ortiz, 23, and Omar Mora, 20.

When they received an alert about the tsunami, the trio drove from Pico Rivera on Highway 710 to Long Beach. They said that because the earthquake occurred in Russia, the tsunami may not be very powerful in Southern California, so they decided to continue on to the ship.

“My mom said, ‘Why are you going there?’” Aguilera said. “I don’t think it will affect us.”

The three friends said they wanted to see the ship approaching. They also want to see it from the inside because it is haunted.

Just as Gloria Rodriguez, 57, was waiting in the parking lot for her partner and daughter to complete a tour with a focus on Queen Mary’s ghost legend, Sacramento residents were checking their family in San Francisco.

“I’m sure they’ll be fine,” she said.

Her relatives lived near the water, but because the tsunami was spread all over the news, she said, she was sure they were in it.

“They told us when to call,” Rodriguez said, but she thought there could be a possible tsunami on Long Beach. “It’s just one foot,” she said.

Hawaii

Nearly two years after the destruction of the historic Hawaiian town’s residents found themselves ready for nature’s rage, nearly two years after the deathliest American wildfires in a century.

“Every hour, they make sirens to get everyone out of the ocean, which makes us traumatized once again what’s going on in 2023.”

Advincula’s hillside home survives the 2023 fire, a place where she and her family gathered on Tuesday evening: given the altitude, she hopes it will be a safe shelter.

After warning, she was sent back to work at the Canapali Hotel. She said the nearby roads were packed with people trying to get to higher ground.

But she is optimistic that the worst is not going to happen.

“Hopefully nothing will happen because everyone knows this time,” she said, when the island’s sirens never sounded and many lacked enough warnings for the flames, she said. “It’s very spacious sunlight.”
