| Strong
Earthquake but NO tsunami warning |
4:01pm November 29 2007
From:
NOAA/NWS/West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center
Subject:
Tsunami Information Statement #1 issued 11/29/2007 at
3:08PM AST
A strong earthquake has occurred, but a tsunami
IS NOT expected along
the coasts of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, U.S. Atlantic
and Gulf of Mexico states, and Eastern Canadian provinces.
NO tsunami
warning or watch is in effect for these areas.
Based on the depth of the earthquake within the earth, a
widespread damaging tsunami IS NOT
expected along the Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, U.S.
Atlantic, Eastern Canadian and Gulf of Mexico coasts. At
coastal locations which have experienced strong ground
shaking, local tsunamis are possible due to underwater
landslides.
At 3:00 PM Atlantic Standard Time on November 29, an
earthquake with preliminary
magnitude 7.3
occurred near the Windward Islands, Caribbean Sea.
(Refer to the
United States Geological Survey for
official earthquake parameters.)
The
Pacific Tsunami Warning Center
in Ewa Beach, Hawaii will issue messages
for areas in the Caribbean outside Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands.
This will be the only statement issued for this event by the
West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center unless conditions
warrant. See the
WCATWC web site for basic
tsunami information,
safety rules, and a
tsunami travel time map and
table. (NOTE:
Travel time maps and tables indicate forecasted times only,
not that a wave was generated.)
