Cyamus Meeting on Tsunami Alert

Those of us attending the Cyamus conference at the Hatfield Marine Science Center were awoken this morning before 5 am and evacuated in anticipation of a possible tsunami. Most of us drove 5 miles inland and are waiting it out at the Toledo Fire Station. We are hoping to be able to return to Hatfield at 10 am once the danger has passed.
