L.A. County Beaches Reopen Following Tsunami Fears

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― Lifeguards have given the all-clear for visitors to return to Los Angeles County beaches following a magnitude-8 earthquake in the Pacific Ocean near Samoa that prompted a tsunami advisory.

Los Angeles County lifeguard Capt. Terry Harvey said Wednesday morning that crews found no dangerous currents or other hazards during their night patrols.

Harvey says the tide was not higher than normal and a few Boogie boarders and surfers at Venice Beach disregarded the advisory. There were no injuries.

The National Weather Service allowed its tsunami advisory to expire early Wednesday.
