When I visited Cannon Beach, Oregon years ago I remember driving by the high water mark "safe zone" on the highway and remembered thinking it would be impossible to get there in with only a 15 minute warning from the Tsunami sirens. Would everyone in Cannon Beach actually be screwed if a Tsunami hit or are there other mitigating factors (e.g. it might take more than 15 minutes for the Tsunami to hit, or you don't need to be that far away from the beach to increase your chances of survival)?

Yeah that was my main thought - the road would be gridlocked, making it impossible to get to high ground in time unless you have a motorcycle. But if it's actually going to be a shit show shouldn't the state be stepping in to do something? Like widening the road from the town to the high water area?

I did not know about the towers - that's encouraging to hear the government is actually trying to improve things!

Well shit, I guess I'm late but I really want to know - if you're an assistant district attorney in Nome do you know Zeke Tenhoff from the Discovery Channel show Bering Sea Gold? I ask since he was in legal trouble on the show. What do you think about the show? Does it paint Nome in an accurate light?

How do you mean?
