More tsunami information! We are carefully monitoring the situation for ports and harbors north of Point Conception as tsunami waves will likely be larger in that area. Go away from the coast, or if in a boat, go out to deep water! #CAwx

The structures are both two-story, single-family homes that were impacted by fire and sustained structural damage. The fire has been knocked down and firefighters are working on overhaul and salvage operations. Residents were inside both homes at the time of the incident, and were evacuated with no reported injuries. Preliminary reports indicate one fatality in the aircraft.
