Hiya...i have been up at my folks for the entire last week. I and Mira are safe. Besides (as I told the several out of state friends who called) the layout of the S.F. Bay is such that a surge would have to make 2 90 degree+ turns after dissipating into wider water twice, in order to get all the way up to my neck of the bay...The surge would first pass through the 1 mile wide "golden gate" entrance then dissipate as it spread out into the MUCH wider main bay. It would break in half against Angel Island, and again against Alcatraz. Whatever 1/4 of the wave heads up into the north bay would then dissipate again because the entrance to the North Bay (San Pablo bay) is much narrower than the bay itself...it would spread out again, then have to take a hard right turn up the shipping channel into the straits where I live just before Suisun Bay....ie...A fat guy doing a cannonball off of the Marina fuel dock would probably rock my boat more than this tsunami could.

Thanks for your concern...we are just fine.
