Environment Writing.- The tsunami that arrived this morning in the Hawaiian islands has also begun to impact the coast of California, according to the National Weather Service of Los Angeles (NWS for its acronym in English) reported on its X account.
The agency warned that the tsunami reached the coast of California, and is being recorded on the tide gauge of Arena Cove, Monterey and Crescent City, the latter being under a tsunami warning, being the highest alert level.
So far, a wave of up to 1.74 meters has already been recorded in Kahului, Maui, while another of 1.5 meters in Hailo, Hawaii.
However, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center lowered its threat alert for Hawaii: "a major tsunami is not expected to hit the state of Hawaii," although "strong currents could occur along all coasts that could pose a danger to swimmers, boaters, and people near the shore in beaches, ports, and marinas," they stated in a bulletin.
Faced with this situation, officials detail that those who have been evacuated will be able to return to their homes safely according to the county's assessments and directives.
In a separate statement, the center also canceled its tsunami advisory for Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.
