Today is #WorldTsunamiDay
What a great day to be prepared.
Tsunamis are rare but possible on all 3,000 miles of shoreline in Washington so it is better to be prepared than caught unaware.

Stay hydrated and cool out there. If you don't have adequate cooling in your home, find a place to go to get out of the heat and smoke. In Seattle, 21 of the public libraries have air conditioning AND great books to read!

⚠️ With critically dry conditions outside, it's important to know how everyday things can spark wildfires. Keep ignition sources far away from dry vegetation, wood, and other fuels, and always follow burn bans from local, state, and federal regulations. #WAwx

Smoke from regional wildfires has moved into W WA today. Smoke aloft will mix down to the surface later today into Tuesday and is expected to bring reduced air quality to portions of western WA into at least Wednesday. #wawx
