Tsunami in Hawaii and California

[Anonymous]

Tsunami watches for Hawaii and California. How is a watch different from a warning again? Is it on the way?

A watch is a chance, a warning is that one is on the way

Warning has an “r” in it. The “r” stands for “run!”

8.7 is a huge quake, but it’ll take time to get to the US territories and they’ll have a better handle on tsunami chances by then.

Thank you. Good way to remember it.

Tsunami has hit Hokkaido, northernmost point of Japan. No word on casualties. Japan is much closer to the epicenter than anywhere in the Americas.

Is there anywhere like Fukushima to be worried about?

Fukushima delayed their release of radioactive water due to the tsunami.

The warning system did what it was supposed to.
