Just saw this on the Weatherunderground.com:

Statement as of 9:15 PM PDT on June 14, 2005


... The tsunami warning and watch status is canceled for
California - Oregon - Washington - British Columbia - and
Alaska...

No tsunami danger exists for California. However some areas may
experience small sea level changes. As local conditions can cause a
wide variation in tsunami wave action... the all clear determinations
must be made by local authorities.

Water levels remain normal at all coastal sites. No wave has been
detected.

This will be the last West Coast and Alaska tsunami warning center
watch/warning bulletin issued for this event.

The government Tsunami site http://tsunami.gov/ has the watch.

Actually, If I am reading this right, the warning/watch has been cancelled:

That made for an interesting evening. Living in a low-laying area near the coast in San Diego, I was contemplating at least climbing up to the 3rd floor with the video cam.
