That same person also drew this picture: When a sizable tsunami hits Bayshore it will sweep across the spit on the way into the bay and back across it on the way out.

With these things in mind ....... below are some pieces of information, places to find more information, and suggestions about how to prepare for a tsunami.
If you are hearing ocean sounds ...... they are being generated by the synthesizer your computer uses. If you want them off you can use the player controls just below.
The warning just above is a .jpg that you can print for yourself and/or your renters. To save it to your computer use your mouse ..... put the cursor on the text, mouse down (while depressing the control key on some computers), drag to the "save as" (determine where to save), mouse up.
Even easier and for clearer print click here for a .pdf file.
