At about the edge of the dunes line, a decommissioned buoy. Tsunami evacuation route signs were posted all around the city, but there isn't really anywhere to go since the city's elevation is 10' (3 meters).

I thought about this after our trip out here. If the Cascadia were to go off anywhere nearby, you might have 20 minutes or less to evacuate the entire sand bar. If you're up on the northern end in Ocean Park, you're almost 20 minutes away from any ground high enough. If it happens in the busy season when the streets are clogged with tourists, a lot of people won't make it.

So if, last weekend, we'd had a major hurricane on the east coast and a tsunami on the west coast, lots of our problems would be over?
