I have been listening to KCSM, the Bay Area’s jazz station, streaming during the workdays recently to shake things up as WSIE has a pretty limited playlist.
As such, I heard the National Weather Service trigger the emergency broadcast system, and it was not a test. And it was not something we hear when the sounders go off here in Missouri: It was a tsunami warning.
Fortunately, it did not wipe anyone off the beach:
National Weather Service cancels tsunami warning for U.S. West Coast after 7.0 earthquake.
I feel a little like a world traveler and haven’t left my office.
