Deputies Locate Reported Tsunami Debris in Pacific County

Long Beach, WA. - Pacific County Sheriff’s Office yesterday located suspected Japanese Tsunami debris discovered on the beach between Long Beach and the Cranberry Beach access road.

Cheif Criminal Deputy Pat Matlock tells us the department of ecology stating notified them that a person had been recreating on the beach on June 19th and located items described as a dock that was about the size of a "pickup truck", a refrigerator, a small television and what appeared to be a "seven foot long section of a small aircraft fuselage".

They noted several other noteworthy items such as light bulbs of various sizes and colors being scattered along the beach.

Pacific County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the reported area and discovered the dock in question just north of the Cranberry Beach access road on the beach. Other smaller debris was noted but no metal fuselage was located. Deputies continued to check the beach area for other items but nothing was located.
