Tsunami Warning in the US - Check live updates on Hindustan Times
How far inland could the tsunami go?
Under a full tsunami warning, with expected wave heights of 1 to 3 meters (3–10 ft) above tidal level — locally destructive potential. As a result, the sea level could be expected to rise a few hundred feet. Up to around 300 meters inland is possible.
However, it still depends on how the waves travel, with real-time alerts provided by the NOAA’s Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
