All types of weather/environmental challenges happening today.
Not much happening here at the present time, just a few sprinkles of rain.
Temps are in the 40's, later on it will change into rain/snow mixture according to the weather forecasters.
They seem more excited over the expected events than the public.
___________________________
A tsunami surge may not appear as a large wave, but rather involves a fast and constant flow of water to low-lying areas over tens of minutes.

“It becomes very dangerous because there’s so much water and it’s moving so fast; you can’t outrun it, and you can’t outswim it,” said Mr. Garcia.

The tsunami is expected to continue to affect the coast and bays for the remainder of the day, with the National Weather Service advising anyone in the coastal areas of California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Alaska to “move off the beach and out of harbors and marinas.”

Nothing here but suppose to be some snow I think at midnight but the weather people say tomorrow will be snow/sleet/freezing rain and to listen to them it's the end of the world.......if power doesn't go out Let'er snow or whatever everyone should have plenty of food grocery stores empty now for sure......

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If they build on the Breaker's as here on NC coast that could wash out many homes, amazing people think they can build that close and worse yet Allowed too!

Yep, that's the norm it seems lots of hype at times and many of the weather channels seem to tell it a bit different.
That's what I hate too, when the lines break/trees are loaded down with ice and the trees fall over on them.
We have a really large PTO 45 KW generator. It may be coming in handy tomorrow night. I hope we or anyone else loses their power though.

We use to have best family time when power went out when my girls were little, gas logs and generator for lights and play board games and my girls actually didn't want the power to come back on......

Improvising was kind of fun when I was younger... I can relate to that. Now, since I'm older I don't feel the same way.
We're still only getting rain here, our power is still on. Thank goodness, no snow or ice yet.

That's really cold, at least to me. We have 35 degrees and it's starting to snow, mostly flurries mixed with rain.
