After a massive earthquake off Russia triggered a Pacific tsunami, questions arose closer to home: could it happen here? In this episode, Shoresides speaks with Stephen Pfaff, meteorologist-in-charge at the National Weather Service’s Wilmington office, about the science of tsunamis, the likelihood of one reaching Coastal North Carolina, and how preparedness efforts—from early warnings to public education—could make the difference when seconds count.
