Wait.. the date on that video was June, 2005.. and they were talking about how they were remembering the tsunami back in december 2005.. how is that possible? I'm a bit confused.. that would make this June 2006 right?

The tsunami in the indian ocean was in December 2004, making this June 2005.

I like how when they say "Controlled panic erupted in Crescent City, California" the map on screen cuts off at Trinidad (south of Crescent City).

Wonder what it is about CC that makes it such a target for tsunamis.

I remeber that day all to well. I was driving when I heard the siren and KCRE did the emergancy buzz on the radio and said a tsunami was comming in less than 10 minutes. I raced home to get my son on Gainard and drove to the gas station on Northcrest because I was on empty. All ATM machines were shut down and they only took a few customers with cash before closing. I always have a little cash in my car now incase of an emergancy and never drive with less than a quarter tank. lol

that was such a weird day, and its one of last memories from when I lived their, it didn't feel like most earthquakes but seemed like it last a really long time, scary stuff but I'd still take the quakes and waves any day over living in Ohio : / I can't wait to go back!

Yes, there was a horrible tsunami in March, 1964. We live in Crescent City, across from South Beach, in an RV park, That day on June 15, 2005, was one that I will never forget. When you live in an area like this, you have to have a plan. Have emergency supplies, meds together. I have a portable police scanner that I take along to hear reports from our local agencies, on the state of the emergency, and when it is safe to return home. The local radio station made a mistake and said it was clear.

Im from Eureka, but happened to be there that day. It was all chill when the earthquake happened, but then the sirens and everybody RAN for their lives, literally. All I could think about was the tsunami in asia and couldn't believe it was our turn. I have family who survived the 64 tsunami so we know to take warnings seriously.
