episode_narrativeA tsunami generated by an 8.8 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Chile reached the Southern California coast shortly after noon on February 27. The tsunami caused tidal surges of four to five feet over the course of about two hours. The speed of the currents in both Orange and San Diego counties were estimated to be 8 to 12 knots. The tsunami caused minor damage to structures and vessels, mainly in harbors.
