Where else but on the Left Coast

OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK (seashore), WA, 10.2.06
SEASIDE, OR, 10.3.06
Let's say you're on the beach checking out the driftwood, the rocks, the scenic views when suddenly you feel the ground shaking!! Wow! What should you do?? The states of Washington and Oregon..and maybe California too...have you covered. There are signs near the beaches to tell you that if the ground shakes and you are on the beach to: RUN LIKE HELL!! There are signposts like the one below directing you to Tsunami Evacuation Routes. There are information sheets posted inside rooms in hotels, motels (and the Hostel in Seaside, OR, where we are staying) with lots of good Tsunami info. The same goes for the campground we stayed in last night, which was on the ocean.
So, for those of you who see the glass half-empty or are an optimistic realist like I am -- then if you don't get caught in an avalanche of rocks and trees from above you can bet you'll sleep with the fishes if you don't get to high ground quick enough.
More dispatches to come from the Left Coast as the fun continues.
