Which Way?

Puna Tsunami Sign

Humboldt County Tsunami Sign

Recently as we were headed to the beach and driving down the "red road" near our new home on the Big Island,  our visiting friend noticed a sign we had driven by numerous times. However, she saw something we had missed!  She laughed as she got out of the car to take a photo of a tsunami evacuation because the person on the sign appears to be running TOWARD the approaching disaster.  She decided it must be a surfer!

While living in Humboldt County, tsunami signs were just a bit different, with people heading away from the danger.

Maybe it's just what Punatics do?  (Or, maybe it was just a graphic artist with a twisted sense of humor.)
