THE TSUNAMI CONTINUES TO IMPACT THE U.S. CALIFORNIA COAST AND
IS STILL AT DANGEROUS LEVEL AT A FEW SITES SUCH AS SANTA BARBARA.
NON-DAMAGING TSUNAMIS HAVE BEEN OBSERVED ALONG THE OREGON,

ARE STILL RISING. THE TSUNAMI FRONT IS NOW APPROACHING SOUTHEAST
ALASKA AND WILL BE RECORDED IN SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA
IN APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR.

TIME - TIME OF MEASUREMENT
AMPL - TSUNAMI AMPLITUDES ARE MEASURED RELATIVE TO NORMAL SEA LEVEL.
IT IS ...NOT... CREST-TO-TROUGH WAVE HEIGHT.
VALUES ARE GIVEN IN BOTH METERS(M) AND FEET(FT).

TSUNAMIS CAN BE DANGEROUS WAVES THAT ARE NOT SURVIVABLE. WAVE
HEIGHTS ARE AMPLIFIED BY IRREGULAR SHORELINE AND ARE DIFFICULT TO
FORECAST. TSUNAMIS OFTEN APPEAR AS A STRONG SURGE AND MAY BE
PRECEDED BY A RECEDING WATER LEVEL. MARINERS IN WATER DEEPER
THAN 600 FEET SHOULD NOT BE AFFECTED BY A TSUNAMI. WAVE HEIGHTS
WILL INCREASE RAPIDLY AS WATER SHALLOWS. TSUNAMIS ARE A SERIES OF
OCEAN WAVES WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS FOR SEVERAL HOURS AFTER THE
INITIAL WAVE ARRIVAL. DO NOT RETURN TO EVACUATED AREAS UNTIL AN
