Tsunami Sign?

For those of you who know me you know that I enjoy the “oddities” in life to include people, places and things. While walking home from the beach the other day, I crossed the great highway on Taraval street and while walking about half way up the street encountered this sign on a pole. I found it interesting and a little odd. First because it is located right across the street from ocean beach. Second, the arrow is pointing up the pole. I had to laugh with that one. Should we all climb the pole? :) And, if there were a tsunami warning would people living in that immediate area need to be warned by a sign so high on a pole that they wouldn’t even see it not to run towards the ocean? I think we would all know that running towards the beach during a tsunami warning would be a death wish. I had seen the same sign months ago not far away around 46th and Noriega. I think the last time there was a tsunami warning in San Francisco was in 1906 which was triggered by the Earthquake. It’s just a little strange so I had to comment on the oddity of the sign.
