MANN OVERBOARD: I lived through LBI’s first “Tsunami Alert!” What’s more, it afforded me an overall relief about future – and realer – tidal wave arrivals.

As you might have heard, the Harvey Cedars Police Department Nixled out a big-wave warning on Monday, quite erroneously, as luck would have it. “Tsunami Warning until 02:06 p.m. … Severity: Extreme: Extraordinary Threat to Life or Property.”
