It's just a tsunami watch, I believe. Big difference!

Haven't seen anywhere where they're upgrading it to a warning yet.

According to the NWS Portland office amplitude from this thing could reach 3 to 4 feet. That's 3 to 4 feet above normal wind waves and swells.

Fortunately, we're between storms but waves are already high so an additonal yard plus won't be welcome.

Waves should start arriving around 7 to 7:30AM on our coast and will keep coming for at least four hours before fading away.
