They definitely did good work during the Japanese event. In coastal California, we had ample time to prepare and to minimize damage. As it turned out, I was on the south coast of Santa Rosa Island at the time predicted for the arrival of the T-wave. In that location, a fairly open, straight coast, we saw absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. Meanwhile, back in harbor at Ventura, the water was channeled into a narrowing estuary and damage did occur.

Thanks for the tip. If I am ever up that way, i will definitely take the tour.
