Tsunami Warning

I am not in town, so missed last night's tsunami warning. From online I gather many people were woken by the alarm and evacuated to higher ground. In a couple of hours, they returned home. Seems like there are a few bugs to work out of the system, but many things went right. Thanks to ESS for supervising.
