They said this article is the bane of their existence because of people calling into their office with false beliefs that have just propagated into fear over time.
I dont even think the sentence got out of my mouth "so about that article I saw...", I was calling to see if my area was in danger of a tsunami, and she gave relieved my fears greatly.
It will be bad, but also there's a lot more nuance to it.
I picked her brain for about an hour, asking about all different questions about liklihood of tsunami, how far inland, I asked her stuff about my foundation and my house etc.
Id say it would be worthwhile to try and call your local office.
