Tsunami Alert from the California-Mexico border all the way up to Vancouver, BC.

Guess they're really covering their bases. Though a 7.0 magnitude quake off the coast of California could certainly do some damage, if it's the right (or rather, wrong) sort of quake.

ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL IN THE SAN FRANCISCO AREA IS APPROXIMATELY 923 PM PDT.

And now it's 920 PM PDT. And tsunami.gov, the site linked from the main NWS page (http://weather.gov), is down. Is everything still OK? I guess, or CNN's front page would be hopping, but...

Yep... from what I gather, they weren't really expecting a tsunami, but the possibility of one existed. They sent out the alert to get people on the coastline prepared in case they needed to be evacuated.
