Lots going on, and unfortunately this is a perfect example of how not being in a position to do full time natural hazards modeling and monitoring causes things to fall through the cracks. The big news this morning are all of the tsunami warnings from a major earthquake last night …

In tropical news, Tropical Storm Co-May is making landfall near Shanghai causing disruptions and some flooding, as Typhoon Krosa looks to make a near swipe of the Tokyo area in a few days, also likely causing some disruptions and spot flooding …
The Central Pacific is busy, with the tsunami from the Kamchatka earthquake causing evacuations and almost 2m wave. Two storms are passing south of Hawai’i, only impacts should be swell on the south coasts …
The Atlantic remains quiet, in the thrall of dry air for now. Tropical waves coming off of Africa basically don’t have a chance, and conditions in the Gulf of Whatever remain unfaforable. This should change over the coming weeks as we get into the heart of hurricane season.
