A tiny California city prone to tsunamis saw the highest waves in continental US after quake
July 30, 2025
Officials are warning people to stay away from beaches and waterways in a small California city near the border with Oregon that has recorded dozens of tsunamis, including one that turned deadly more than 60 years ago. Officials said at a briefing Wednesday that no injuries had been reported, but a dock at the city’s harbor was damaged. City Manager Eric Wier says it was a long night with a lot of uncertainty, but the city didn’t see flooding. He says the downtown is high enough that it was open Wednesday morning.
