An unidentified man runs from a boat as a surge of water makes it's way towards in to the boat basin in Crescent City, Calif., on Friday, March 11, 2011. The tsunami triggered by the massive earthquake in Japan rushed onto California's coast Friday morning, causing powerful surges that destroyed boat docks, sent beach-area residents throughout the state evacuating to higher ground and swept at least one person out to sea.
