Does San Diego have them?

Yes, we do. They are posted at the beaches and along the bays. As mentioned, they are very useful. "Get yo' butt away from the water!"

Luckily, for most of our area, there are hills very close to the beaches and bays. Walk 15 minutes and you won't get swept away. However, some areas are very dangerous with no high ground close by.

We moved here from a Southern California beach.

In 2013 they finally got around to putting up signs showing the tsunami evacuation routes. That was a far as the "warning system" ever got.

They are very useful. They basically tell you to get your butt away from the beach. I wonder how much San Diego paid for them.

Made $250/week. Major money back then. We rode a little train down to the face that was being cut to get to the coal vein. Rode back up for lunch.
I saw a miner taking bread scraps back down to feed the rats. I asked why and he told me "boy when the rats start running race them up the slope. They hear the cave in before it happens." Not very comforting when you spend the night a mile underground. I bought a 1965 Mustang at the end of the summer and had enough left over for tuition at WVU.

Does anyone know if ZIHU and IXTAPA have a Tsunami warning system in place and if so is it ever tested and what does it sound like? I did a search first and did not find it as a previous subject.

Would be nice to know if a test was planned?

NOPE. That's why we pay close attention to the news about earthquakes around the Pacific Basin. I'll do my best to post a warning here if there is time.
