Photos of San Diego coastline the morning after tsunami advisory
The earliest potential tsunami waves for the region were expected to arrive around 1:15 a.m. Wednesday, according to officials with the National Weather Service. The National Tsunami Warning Center predicted modest wave heights: less than 1 foot for San Diego up to Oceanside — but strong currents, not flooding, was the main concern. NWS officials warned residents to stay away from beaches, docks, marinas, and harbors until the advisory was lifted.
San Diego tsunami evacuation signs: Do you know what to do if one hits?
Come daybreak on Wednesday, it appeared to be business as usual for San Diegans with live cameras along the coast capturing surfers, joggers, dog walkers and beachgoers carrying on as normal after the potential event. No widespread flooding or major damage occurred in the region.
Here's a look at local beaches and ocean views the morning after the tsunami advisory, which kept coastal communities on high alert overnight:
La Jolla Shores
Del Mar
Coronado
Pacific Beach
Mission Bay
Shelter Island
While San Diego has experienced detectable tsunami waves historically, none have caused major damage or flooding locally. Still, the possibility—especially from distant seismic events—makes awareness and preparedness essential.

Canadian Wildfire Smoke Prompts Air Quality Alerts Across the Great Lakes Region
Smoke from Canadian wildfires set off multiple air quality alerts on Thursday across the Midwest and the Canadian prairies, stretching eastward to Toronto. 'There's a pretty large swath of smoke actually over the central part of the country right now, and you can see that coming down from central Canada,' said Dave Radell, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in New York. The smoke is expected to remain over the northern and central Plains for the next couple of days, he said, adding that there was a chance it could drift toward the East Coast during the later part of the weekend and into early next week. In Canada, where fires have scorched millions of acres, air quality alerts were issued for multiple provinces, including parts of Manitoba, Ontario and Saskatchewan. Every air quality monitor in Minnesota is reporting red or unhealthy conditions for everyone, said Matt Taraldsen, supervisory meteorologist at Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.

Sunshine and smoky air: What to expect for weather into the August holiday weekend
Sunshine and perfect summer weather is settling into Hamilton and most of southern Ontario for the August long weekend. However, a special air quality statement has been issued Thursday on the heels of a just-cancelled heat warning. Forest fires in the Prairies are blowing east and pushing the city's Air Quality Health Index into the high risk danger zone Thursday. The smoke is causing or expected to cause poor air quality and reduced visibility before dropping to a moderate risk on Friday and low risk Friday night, according to Environment Canada . The National Weather Service has forecast a mix of sun and cloud Thursday with a high of 21 C, feeling like 26 with humidex. Thursday is the worst day for smoke pollution, which will vary considerably from hour to hour. The service warns residents to take precautions. Friday's weather changes to mainly sunny skies, with a high of 24 C that will feel like 26. Temperatures will drop to 12 C overnight into Saturday, when we will see clear skies and daytime highs of 27-28 C Saturday and Sunday. The holiday Monday will see a few clouds move overhead, but temperatures will stay around 28 C. Precautions from the weather service for Thursday's air quality statement warn residents to limit time outdoors and think of reducing or rescheduling outdoor sport and events. Watch for eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches or mild cough. Those more at risk from air pollution include infants, young children, those over 65 years old, pregnant or with existing illness.
