CRESCENT CITY, Calif. - A tsunami swept at least five people watching the
waves out to sea Friday and ripped docks out of harbors in California,
spreading the destruction of a devastating Japanese earthquake to the shores
of the United States.
Four people were rescued from the water in Oregon, but one man who was
taking photos in Northern California was still missing Friday afternoon.
Coast Guard helicopters searched for him near the mouth of the Klamath River
in Del Norte County, Calif., after his two friends made it back to shore.
About 25 miles north, four people were swept off a beach north of Brookings,
Ore. Two got out of the water on their own and the others were rescued by
law enforcement and fire officials.
A man was found dead aboard a commercial vessel in Brookings, but sheriff's
officials said it appeared to be from natural causes.
