SAN FRANCISCO -- A tsunami generated from a massive killer earthquake in Japan slammed into Santa Cruz’s Inner Harbor early Friday, capsizing and damaging several boats and leaving the water littered with debris.
Officials reported that the tide pulled back about 8 inches over a five-minute period nearby at Pillar Point, setting the scene for the destruction in Santa Cruz. At least 15 fishing and pleasure crafts were ripped from their moorings and damaged during the surge.
Elsewhere, the wave impact had not been felt as dramatically.
