San Diego currently under Tsunami Advisory

In an event rarely seen in Southern California, the waters of San Diego Bay rose by 1.4 feet on Saturday due to the arrival of tsunami waves produced by an underwater volcano that erupted in the Pacific off Tonga, according to the National Weather Service.

The water also rose by 6 inches in La Jolla. Forecasters say the bay magnifies the tide, which is likely responsible for the higher reading.

“It looks like things have topped out, but there’s still a lot of variabilities,” said Brandt Maxwell, a forecaster at the weather service office in Rancho Bernardo. “We could still have unusual currents, including in places where you normally don’t see them.”

At about 11 am this morning, Port San Luis in San Luis Obispo Bay on the Central Coast had logged the largest surge in California with a 4.3-foot increase in water level, according to the weather service. Videos on social media showed flooding surges in Santa Cruz, putting at least one parking lot underwater.

VIDEO EXERCISE TIP: Isolate your Pectoralis Muscles while doing D-Bell Chest Press

The pectoralis major attaches to the upper bone of the arm, called the humerus, and is divided into two parts. The clavicular head makes up the upper part, and the sternal head makes up the lower part.

The muscle fibers of the pectoralis end in a flat tendon, which is inserted into a groove called the intertubercular sulcus, in the upper humerus located in the upper arm.

The pectoralis major controls various actions to move the shoulder joint:

• Clavicular head flexes the humerus, as in throwing an underhand ball

• Sternocostal head adducts the humerus, as when flapping the arms

• Pectoralis major medially rotates the humerus, as when arm wrestling

• Pectoralis major keeps the arm attached to the trunk
