BREAKING Tsunami advisory prompts closure of Orange County beaches after undersea volcano erupts in South Pacific
Although no significant coastal flooding was expected, authorities warned that some Southern California areas could experience dangerous rip currents and tidal surges due to the tsunami along beaches and in harbors and marinas.
"The impact of this tsunami will be stronger than normal currents and possible higher than normal tidal surges along the beaches," the Orange County Sheriff's Department said in a statement."Residents are encouraged to stay out of the water." There were no immediate reports of injuries or the extent of the damage as communications with the small island nation remained cut off hours after the eruption.
