*the crowd is building to watch the tsunami
So we were awoken at 5 am from most of our family and friends warning us that we were under a Tsunami warning due Japan's horrible tragedy. Around 6:30am our road shuts down and police and firetrucks start rounding Pacific Grove and Monterey. All traffic had to be rerouted due to all ocean roads being closed. News instructed Monterey Bay residents to evacuate. I'm not gonna lie, it was kind of crazy. Our town became a ghost town within a few minutes. I dropped Joe off at work and came back home to pick up our valuables just in case. But then ignorance got the best of me and I went down to the water to take some photos of the waves. And honestly, it wasn't bad at all. The only scary part was Santa Cruz was affected by it which is about 30-40 miles north of us. The tide was literally pulling the boats in the Santa Cruz marina to crash into one another and capsize. All residents were strongly advised to evacuate.
But fortunately it passed, we were safe and the waves were not big at all. Pray for Japan, it's such a horrible tragedy.
