Oregon Tsunami Victim

I know what you're all thinking "Oh well, just another tsunami taking a life". The kicker is this guy is from Japan's tsunami

The body of a 25-year-old northern California man swept out to sea while trying to photograph the tsunami's arrival from Japan last month has washed ashore about 380 miles away, in Oregon, officials there said Tuesday.

Dustin Douglas Weber of Klamath, California, was standing on a sand bar near the mouth of the Klamath River in Del Norte County, California, when he was swept away March 11, authorities said.

Tsunami's first moments

He was with two friends who also were carried off by the surge but were able to return safely to shore, authorities said.

Weber was identified by a forensic odontologist using dental records, said Eugene Gray, forensic administrator in the Oregon state medical examiner's office.

Scary.

Yeah I'm still wishy washy on how I wanted to presented that. At first I was going to say "california victim found" but would figure people think he was found there.

And mark, completely agree LOL.

Doesn't matter though, it was still japan ->USA west coast which is pretty scary. lol

>Oregon in title

That bodies from Japan are reaching the USA western coast. That's a lot of water to cover.

They're not though, this was a guy in California trying to photograph the tsunami there. It was just the tsunami that originated off the coast of Japan.

Oh shyt I completely misread that lol. I thought it was saying from japan -> california.

I read the title thinking that a Tsunami hit Oregon and claimed one victim.
