Several people awoke this morning in Huntington Beach to a blaring siren that turned out to be a false alarm for a tsunami.
At around 4 a.m. residents reported hearing a siren, and one viewer called in to NBC4 to ask about the alarm.
The Huntington Beach Police Department confirmed that the warning was a false alarm, as did the fire department.
