An aerial view shows Crescent City's harbor after tsunami waves, triggered by a quake off Russia's coast, caused close to $1 million in damage. Crescent City — one of California’s northernmost towns and Del Norte County ’s lone city — took a close-to-$1 million hit to its harbor after tsunami waves battered the North Coast earlier this week.

A small California coastal city near the border with Oregon that has recorded dozens of tsunamis, including one that killed 11 people more than 60 years ago, saw little damage Wednesday as locals returned to their routines amid sunny skies in the town known as a tsunami magnet.
