Chile quake-generated tsunami brings spectators, little damage to L.A. beaches
While hundreds of people went to local beaches to watch the surge, for many, the waves were difficult to detect.
The National Weather Service said there was a 2.2-foot surge in Santa Monica and a 3-foot surge in Ventura. The Ventura County Sheriff's Department reported minor damage at Ventura Harbor from several buoys washing away.
