Tsunami Evacuation

At 7:30 this morning, as a result of the devasting earthquake in Japan, the Newport Bayfront, including the Embarcadero, was evacuated by local authorities. Although no major waves have been reported, some surges have been observed on the Oregon Coast beaches. Currently no structures or roads have been affected. As of 10:20 am warning is still in effect. We do anticipate the warnings to be lifted within the next few hours. Warning was upgraded to advisory at 2pm. Please stay off beaches until advisory is lifted.
