Tsunami Warning Is Issued for U.S., Canada, Mexico After Quake
June 15 (Bloomberg) -- A tsunami warning was issued for the western coasts of the U.S., Canada and Mexico after a 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of California, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said in an e-mail alert.
``A tsunami warning is in effect for the coast areas from the Californian-Mexico border to the north tip of Vancouver Island, British Columbia inclusive,'' the alert said. ``It is not known -- repeat not known -- if a tsunami exists but a tsunami may have been generated.''
People in low lying coast areas should follow instructions from local emergency officials and anyone on beaches should move to higher ground. The tsunami threat will exist for several hours, according to the e-mail alert, which was received by Bloomberg News at about 8 p.m. California time.
The earthquake was located 300 miles (483 kilometers) northwest of San Francisco and struck at 7:51 p.m. local time, the center said.
They canceled the warning for San Diego a couple of minutes ago :) First Chile, now off Cali :o Canada/Alaska you up next.
