enthusiastic (They are brave people, if I were them, I would not do such thing)
Fortunately, the damage was insignificant in Southern California
The warning for people to stay off beaches because the tsunami is not given yet, as there is no possibility found that the wave to rise more than 3 feet according Los Angeles County Fire Officials. This is because the surges came during low tide, thus it’s reducing the chances of problems
