It is unknown how big they will be but it is possible that it can get to be very big. Please guys, if your living in low lying area's around the coast, get to higher ground!

so far everything is fine in the bay area that I can tell, there were some damaged boats up in the Crecent City area. Highway 1 has been closed temporarily tho as a precaution.

I am ok here, we are protected by Vancouver Island, but my wife is in San Diego in La Jolla right now though because of work. Hopefully it stays as minor as it has been in places like Hawaii.

The La Jolla area of San Diego increases in height above sea level very rapidly as you move away from the shoreline. A mile or so inland you're already at 250-300' elevation. The Mrs. should be fine.
