We actually had a Tsunami 'warning' here a while back. If you folks read much, you'd understand that there are natural ridges out along the coasts of california under the water that diffuse most of that wave when it comes, so a tsunami may reach our beaches, but manifest in the form of a 2ft wave, which is hardly big enough to even tell it's a tsunami.
also, monterey is one of the BEST cities in CA to visit, or even live. I think people confuse a lot of CA stuff with socal, and norcal isn't like socal at all.
yes, we have plastic bitches. yes, we have idiot drivers. but, there are plastic bitches everywhere. and so are idiot drivers.
most of the above are in socal too. lol
