A miraculous and rugged, basalt-rimmed bay, Boiler Bay is a great place to watch wild surf action on the rocky spurs. This one of the best sites ib Oregon to see ocean-going birds (like shearwaters, jaegers, albatrosses, grebes, pelicans, loons, oystercatchers and murrelets). In 1910, an explosion sank the J. Marhoffer, and you can see the ship's boiler at low-tide.
Peraliya, Galle District, Sri Lanka devastated by the tsunami of 26. 12. 2004.
Time to pull this series together.
A California Golden Sunset behind an islet just offshore from Hidden Beach, Redwood National Park, Del Norte County, California. A thunderstorm just offshore provided dramatic contrast to the picture along with the lonely tree on top of the islet.
The former Redwood Youth Hostel; closed its doors for good on January 18 2010. This building was built by Louis and Agnes de Martin at the turn of the 19th century and played the role of a popular stop for travelers on the northern California coastal trail. After the de Martin's; this was a ranch house owned by Miriam Kelly Radisill and her daughter Alice Kelly until the 1960's. Hosteling International renovated the ranch house and turned it into a youth hostel in the 1980s. This was the only lodging available within the confines of Redwood National Park.
In 2008, the National Park Service (which owned the building) asked Hosteling International to do a seismic retrofit on the old building. The location of the hostel in Del Norte County coast, 100 feet from the Pacific and 20 ft above sea level; makes this building a sitting duck for the expected Cascadia Megathrust Earthquake and tsunami. The Juan de Fuca Oceanic Plate subducts beneath the North American plate about 50 miles off the coast of Northern California, Oregon and Washington and can unleash megathrust earthquakes of magnitude 9.0 and above.
Estimated costs of the retrofit ran up to $2 million; which precipitated the closing of the hostel in January 2010. The last hostel manager was Ryan along with his wife and baby.
Sign just north of Trees of Mystery, Klamath, CA advising travelers about the Tsunami Hazard Zone. Northern California, Oregon and Washington lie near the Cascadia Subduction Zone, 80 miles offshore, that can unleash earthquakes and devastating tsunamis periodically. Some tsunamis may arrive from as far away as Japan, as proven by the recent warnings following the magnitude 8.9 megathrust 2011 Sendai Japan earthquake.

Tremendous waves churned by a small thunderstorm just offshore caused the Pacific to crash into the Rocky Shores near Hidden Beach. The collision created a plume of spray water about 50 feet high.
The spectacular cliffs along Gold Bluffs beach preserve floodplain and gravel bars once part of an ancestral river. The river eroded gold deposits and rock that were carried downstream to the ocean. Along the way, gold mixed with floodplain and channel sediments. These stream deposits were uplifted and preserved in the bluffs seen today.
In the 1850s, prospectors devised a way to mine the gold using water flumes and copper amalgamators. During low winter tides,crews shoveled sand into cancas buckets slung over the backs of mules. The mules carried the loads up the hill to "sand corrals". Fall and winter rains washed the granules down the long flumes, riddling the sand of dirt and silt. At the wash house, prospectors extracted gold using mercury-covered copper plates.
This cliff is immediately east of the beach, looks like its eroding away slowly. The roots of the trees on the edge can be seen in a natural cross section.
If you feel a strong earthquake on the coast, a tsunami may follow!
How to escape a tsunami
1. Protect yourself during the earthquake, watch for falling objects including trees and rocks.
2. Leave the beach as soon as you are able. A tsunami may be coming.
3. Move inland and uphill quickly.
4. Do not return to the beach until an official all-clear has been issued. More waves may be coming.
Gold Bluffs Beach is a sitting duck for the expected Cascadia Megathrust Earthquake and tsunami. The Juan de Fuca Oceanic Plate subducts beneath the North American plate about 50 miles off the coast of Northern California, Oregon and Washington and can unleash megathrust earthquakes of magnitude 9.0 and above. The last great Cascadia earthquake in 1700 wiped out this coast with large tsunamis. However there was not large population centers on this coast then.
This is not related to the 2011 Sendai Japan earthquake that is generating large tsunamis in the Pacific Ocean. However the instructions apply wherever you are on the West Coast of the United States if a tsunami is on the way.
If you live in coastal British Columbia, know your tsunami notification zone, then get prepared to manage on your own for a minimum of 72 hours. Start by developing a household plan, putting together your emergency kit and connecting with your neighbours.

Hidden Beach has no sand - instead has a lot of pebbles, washed up timber and offshore marine stacks.

A thunderstorm located just offshore was churning up the waters around Hidden Beach. The treacherous waters are full of razor sharp rocks both above and below the water.

The rocky coast of Del Norte County, California within the confines of Redwood National Park - about 12 miles south of Crescent City, California. This coastline is about 50 miles from the Cascadia Subduction Zone where the Juan de Fuca oceanic plate subducts under the North American Plate making this area vulnerable to undersea megathrust earthquakes. Historically, devastating tsunamis have wiped clean this coast line from Northern California to Washington.
A thunderstorm moves just offshore churning up the beach, as evidenced by the pebbles and driftwood.
Imagine sea level 2 meters higher (I think likely within a century) and most of the beach will be gone. Then even a small tsunami would impact the shoreline houses.
Nestled into a steep little bay. This is pretty typical for a lot of coastal Japan. Quite vulnerable to tsunami. I wonder if they have made any changes since March 11th to protect themselves.
The ferry from Ooarai (Ibaraki) to Tomakomai (Hokkaidou) takes about 18 hours overnight. Much lower carbon emissions than a flight. You can take your bike on for free in a box/bag but if you want to roll on then it costs 1900Y extra.
Post-tsunami update: the terminal suffered damage and temporarily the ferry runs direct from Toukyou (not a bad thing as I think as Ooarai was rather inconvenient).
Video of the tsunami in the port.
Note: my sister's photo.
ETA: I'm seeing and hearing conflicting reports about how damaged Matsushima Bay is. Here's a blog that tries to provide updates: pdhealey.blogspot.com/2011/03/japan-in-memoriam-matsushim...
