Summary

"A Tsunami is occurring," the National Weather Service's National Tsunami Warning Center said on Saturday."Move away from the shore and head to high ground," it said, warning that the first wave may not be the largest.A tsunami advisory — meaning "a dangerous wave is on the way" — was issued for the following areas, stretching from southern California to Alaska's coastline, according to the warning center:On Saturday afternoon, the National Weather Service Anchorage canceled the tsunami advisory for "all coastal areas of the Gulf." The service added that the advisory was still in effect "for the Alaska Peninsula and the Aleutians until further notice."An advisory was also issued for Hawaii, after an undersea volcano erupted Saturday near the nation of Tonga in the Pacific. "Small sea level changes, strong or unusual currents may persist for several additional hours in some coastal areas and appropriate coastal areas and appropriate caution should be exercised by boaters and swimmers," the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center tweeted.The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services said tsunami heights there were expected to be 1-2 feet, based on what was seen in Hawaii. "The tsunami may appear as water moving rapidly out to sea, a gentle rising tide like flood with no breaking wave, as a series of breaking waves, or a frothy wall of water," the National Tsunami Warning Center said.
