While there was no widespread damage reported in California as of Wednesday morning, the effects of the tsunami will likely be felt along the coast throughout the day, with officials warning against getting close to the ocean. In Point Reyes, the weather service recorded 2-foot-high waves over 3 hours after the first waves arrived.

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.
