NO tsunami warning, watch or advisory is in effect for these areas.Based on the earthquake magnitude and historic tsunami records, a damaging tsunami IS NOT expected along the California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska coasts. At coastal locations which have experienced strong ground shaking, local tsunamis are possible due to underwater landslides.At 12:31 PM Pacific Standard Time on February 26, an earthquake with preliminary magnitude 7.3 occurred near the Ryukyu Islands, Japan . (Refer to the United States Geological Survey for official earthquake parameters.) The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Ewa Beach, Hawaii will issue messages for Hawaii and other areas of the Pacific outside California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska.This will be the only statement issued for this event by the West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center unless conditions warrant. See the WCATWC web site for basic tsunami information, safety rules, and a tsunami travel time map and table.
