If you are living in coastal Alaska, get out of there and seek higher ground, you are currently under a major tsunami warning!!
Edit: the warning was downgraded to an advisory. Still, be safe. This warning is for British Columbia too.
Edit 2 (12:17GMT): Alaska has already received the tsunami waves, which were only about 6-12 inches high, ending the tsunami warning and prompting a tsunami advisory. The west coast of the United States still has to receive the tsunami. (Source: Weatherbug)
Edit 3 (13:00GMT): Hawaii and the entirety of the U.S. west coast is currently under a tsunami advisory. Stay safe!!
Edit 4 (18:01GMT): Most tsunami watches have been cancelled at this time. (Thanks to @FlipposMC for pointing that out.)
Yes. @Useinglasseshomework
@FlipposMC ok
@ForeverPie Don't delete the post. You did nothing wrong, and the updates on everything were really convenient.
@jamesPLANESii XD
But that’s all the damage that happened in Picton tho. That happened cuz the land moved and the boat didn’t. XD @Kalanimcd
Yeah that’s the one I was talking about. XD @Kalanimcd
picton was worse my uncle showed me a picture all interislanders and blue bridges werestopped for a while cause the boat loading ramp was wellon the train tracks @jamesPLANESii
m8 remember that nz earthquake when the seabed rose 8 metres in 2016?@jamesPLANESii
@KDS I am honestly considering deleting this post.
I honestly would like to question the point of this post honestly. If you lived in that area and were under the warning, you would get a alert. If you didn’t get the alert, that means the warning/advisory is not in your area, or you live under a rock in which case you won’t be getting that warning or be reading this post. People who it affects and need to know this kinda thing will be notified not via forum post, but a alert notification on their phones, on the news. Like if your only warning was from this post then either something is seriously wrong on the part of the people who send out these warnings, or it doesn’t affect you and probably isn’t your problem in that case.
Not trying to come off as hostile or anything (and I am aware i’m late to thr party) i’m just pointing out that really there are better ways of notifying people of imminent danger beyond a random forum post in a random intern community that’s handled by people much more qualified then we are.
Good, even though I live in NC
@shipster Unless it's an industrial pressure washer or the full grown man is impaired I really doubt it.
@MasterLobster 6 inches at high enough speed can knock a full grown man right off his feet.
@MasterLobster You can drown on land ya know.
YES! GET OUT! THE 12 INCHES TALL WAVE WILL KILL YOU!
I went to visit the devastation just a couple of weeks ago while I was on holiday, and it is AWESOME!!! The sea bed has risen by 2 metres, so the rocks on the beach go out for like 200m! And pretty much every hill has a slip on it, and there was a fissure which almost swallowed a shed! XD
In the Kaikoura earthquake in NZ a year ago, the tsunami was 1m high at Wellington. Luckily it was low tide...
@FlipposMC
@Tully2001 They did...
1: Watches were canceled for Washington, Oregon, California, British Columbia and Hawaii. Officials in Japan also said there was no tsunami threat there. All as expected and predicted. The warning was a "just in case" scenario.
2: 12 Inch waves are by all means no tsunami waves. Trust me, I'm kind of an expert on waves considering my house is literally next to the sea and I live right on top of the most seismically active region in Europe (sorta gives my location away doesn't it).
3: The advisory as I said above has been cancelled (unsurprisingly).
To us on the island I live on, it was always said that shortly after an earthquake hits the island 25km south of ours, we would get hit by a very large possibly, devastating for coastal regions, tsunami. Fast forward a few years to November 2016. The island was hit by a 7.8R earthquake. Very noticeable to us also. Turns out however no tsunami ever came.
@Carsong1017 lmao
Lol @Carsong1017
○_○ I live about 75 miles inland, with a mountain range in between me and the coast. I just got a tsunami advisory on my phone.
The wave should get to the West coast really soon.
