WASHINGTON -- So many people surged to the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center website that it slowed to a crawl early Friday, unable to provide critical information to the public about the coastal effect in the U.S. of a massive earthquake in Japan.

Until technicians were able to increase the bandwidth of the Alaska-based weather website, it failed as an information linchpin for hundreds of hundreds of thousands of people on the California, Oregon and Washington coasts looking for life-and-death tsunami information.

"We were having bandwidth issues," said Audrey Rubel, a spokeswoman for the Alaska region of the National Weather Service. "They boosted it up, and fixed the problem. Not proud of it, but it's always a resource issue."

It was a potentially critical failure in a far-flung alert system that begins with Pacific Ocean weather buoys monitored out of NASA's Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, and ends with broadcast alerts on television and radio stations and tsunami sirens in coastal communities.
