Please stay off the coast. I am watching TV and see people on the beach with children. The first Tsunami wave is not the largest and even if we get small waves - they could be traveling very fast and are dangerous.
Waves could be unusual for a few hours. Please - stay off the beach.

Coastal Sirens Are a Reminder of Tsunami Danger
On the Oregon coast, many of the towns have coastal sirens that are sounded when there is an immediate threat to the coast, such as a tsunami like the one we saw from the earthquake in Chile. While the tsunami was not very high here in Oregon (half a globe away), right at the Chilean coast the tsunami was up to 25+ feet in height!
The Curry Coastal Pilot wrote an article about this subject, and how the sirens are an important warning and tests help make people aware of the possibility.
