Ventura Coast at Greater Risk for Tsunami

 

 

tsuA study says two California coastal cities are at greater risk from tsunamis than previously thought. The American Geophysical Union says Ventura and Oxnard could be hit with a wave 23 feet high if a major earthquake hits in the Santa Barbara Channel. A computer simulation suggests that a wave caused by an undersea quake would split, turn and move perhaps more than a mile inland.
