Since I'm on the California coast, I'm happy I didn't know about the tsunami warning. However, since it was 19° last night, I was too busy trying to save myself from hypothermia to turn on the news.
On the upside, I'd more than likely not have gotten wet as I floated away in the water due to all of the layers I was wearing.
