As some of you or may not know, debris from the Japan tsunami is starting to wash up all around the Pacific coastline. Here is a photo I took of a pile of debris that I found while walking from my new house to the beach. I'm guessing someone else found this debris on the beach and then moved it up inland and made this pile next to intersecting trails. Pretty interesting stuff here IMO...

on a related note, do u guys have to purchase tsunami insurance? Seems like your area is more Tsunami prone than elsewhere in the Continental US due to it's proximity to the Cascadia Subduction Zone, not to mention Alaska and waves coming from Chile or Japan

Not exactly. Even though our area is tsunami-prone like you mentioned, the chances of a big tsunami hitting this area is very slim at this point IMO.

Hmm... I still wouldn't doubt the chance of a tsunami. The people in Japan didn't think it would happen to them, look where they are now. The west coast is over-due for a large earthquake or tsunami though.

We got a heat wave coming up. Dew points right around 70, more humid the closer to the coast, especially on Thursday. These will be the area's first 90 degree days. So far, we are actually running below average on 90 degree days, and we should have had our first 90 degree day already!

I'm glad I didn't post in there last night either.

I've been working on my weather station lately. The current place where it is right now is the best spot where it could be. Unfortunately, the early morning summer sun shines on my thermo-hydrometer. I would typically see large spikes in temperature and humidity between 6:27 - 7:28AM. So to prevent this, I simply put a piece of cardboard with one side being white, I put the white side towards the sun, and I put the cardboard on the unit. Well, this morning with clear skies, it worked, but temperatures were higher by about 1.5°F, an improvement from before, but still inaccurate. I have the cardboard on the thermo-hydrometer. Maybe if I set the cardboard a few inches off of the unit, there might be less of a spike in temperature.
