If a tsunami wave develops it’s expected to reach my area on the central coast, close to midnight. I’m semi vulnerable I am just above the nearby tsunami zone, I’m about 60 ft. above sea level and as the sea gull flies 150 yds. from the mean tide line

This is why I wonder occasionally if I should have a NOAA Alert Radio, but since the current Administration has decimated NOAA, who knows if those still work.
