Tsunami message from WCATWC

Tsunami message from WCATWC: "A strong earthquake has occurred, but a tsunami IS NOT expected along the California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, or Alaska coast. NO tsunami warning or watch is in effect for these areas. Further seismic analysis indicates that this earthquake may be the kind of earthquake that ruptures more slowly and has an increased potential to generate tsunami waves that could be damaging near the epicenter. This center will continue to monitor nearby sea level gauges and will report any tsunami waves that are observed. A damaging tsunami IS NOT expected along the California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska coasts although some of these areas may experience non-damaging sea level changes."
