It's happening right now.  Im watching KION.  Camera at Cowell's.  WAter was on the rocks, then receded about 100 yards, then came back in.

No destructive surge, but still incredible.

Pix of Moss Landing bridge looks like a river heading out.

Santa Cruz boat on tv lost it's mooring because of the surge.  Heading into the open ocean

They reported a loose Kayak Allen get on it

Just talked to Captain Jimmy.  He's at the upper harbor, says it's "surgy" but no problems yet.  He chose not to take his boat out to open ocean, pretty calm about it all.

We are not seeing any big waves t all, more like high tide/low tide on a time-elapsed video.  all the way out and most the way back in within 15-20 minutes.

Fascinating....

Best part are the shots of Cowell's.  Four or five surfers out there despite all the warnings.

A bunch of boats are loose at the harbor now.....some sunk.....Might be the worst damage on the coast from the tsunami.

Well, it was low tide like 30mins ago, and just became hide tide.  Other than that and some surgy water.  No biggie.

Wow low tide again, that was fast.

Live shots from sc harbor look pretty bad.

2nd surge at Cresant City 8.1' with the 3rd yet to come

The Reactor in Japan is heating up let's keep our fingers crossed they can get it under control

I was watching it roll across  Japan in real time. It was just crazy. People trying to drive away from it getting sucked up an under the water and debris. Amazing power. Super fast and really no way to get out of the way when it was coming. I know the video was showing people lose there lives right there on TV. I'm glad we only had some minor or damage here.

yes biggie   

There was a complete dock here yesterday.  About a dozen boats underwater right there.  More getting smashed by repeated surges.  I got some video I'll post later.

Bad day for Santa Cruz.........
