I had some emails wondering whether our place in Alaska could be in the path of the Tsunami generated by the Japan quake. Thanks for the concern. The short answer is that scenario is very improbable. A wave would have to hit the inlet at a perfect angle to travel up the ten mile wide channel. There are two decent sized islands in that channel and several lesser islands, which should absorb a lot of wave energy. I suspect what gets around the islands and reaches us shouldn't have much amplitude left.
A day later: Thinking about the cabin seems trivial after seeing the extent of the destruction in Japan. A good source for streaming news in English direct from Japan. I see clips from this station show up on the local 5 O'clock news later in the day.
