Footage from Ventura Harbor of Chilean Tsunami on February 27, 2010

Currents, not the waves are the dangers that are the cause of concern for public officials, as most beaches are close in Southern California in wake of the Tsunami Advisory and Warning resulting from the 8.8 Earthquake in Japan.

The footage above was taken in Venture Harbor which shows the currents that cause damage last year in the wake of the tsunami generated by the 8+ Chilean Earthquake. Expect about 12 hours of beack closures as the energy created by the Japan Earthquake makes its way to our shores.
