Hello there!  Melissa here, emerging from "deep lurk mode".  I do
hope Doug and family (and everyone else here in the beautiful PNW)
are all fine.  I was actually getting ready to go out on the water
myself, and came in the house to find out where it was centered (and
to gather up kitty and 'cello - just in case).  When I found out it
was centered near Olympia (south of Seattle), I relaxed a bit, as
that pretty much reassured me that there wouldn't be a Tsunami.
However - boaty is *always* ready to surf!  :-)  Seriously though - I
always have my "earthquake kit" ready and in my car, and with cat,
'cello, and boaty always at the ready to head inland if need be.

Looking at the surf as I type, it looks normal enough.

There weren't any Tsunami sirens going locally (Copalis Beach/Ocean
Shores/Westport).

Thank you Ashton.  I'm out on the outer WA coast, but I know there
are many Paddlewisers (and non PW paddlers too!) in
Seattle/Tacoma/Olympia area.  I too, hope they're all fine.
