\u00a0* A tsunami with damaging waves and powerful currents is<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0possible.<\/p>\n
\u00a0* Repeated coastal flooding is possible as waves arrive<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0onshore, move inland, and drain back into the ocean.<\/p>\n
\u00a0* Strong and unusual waves, currents and inland flooding<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0can drown or injure people and weaken or destroy structures<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0on land and in water.<\/p>\n
\u00a0* Water filled with floating or submerged debris that can<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0injure or kill people and weaken or destroy buildings and<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0bridges is possible.<\/p>\n
\u00a0* Strong and unusual currents and waves in harbors,<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0marinas, bays, and inlets may be especially<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0destructive.<\/p>\n
\u00a0* Some impacts may continue for many hours to days after<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0arrival of the first wave.<\/p>\n
\u00a0* The first wave may not be the largest so later waves may<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0be larger.<\/p>\n
\u00a0* Each wave may last 5 to 45 minutes as a wave encroaches<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and recedes.<\/p>\n
\u00a0* Coasts facing all directions are threatened because the<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0waves can wrap around islands and headlands and into bays.<\/p>\n
\u00a0* Strong shaking or rolling of the ground indicates an<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0earthquake has occurred and a tsunami may be imminent.<\/p>\n
\u00a0* A rapidly receding or receded shoreline, unusual waves and<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0sounds, and strong currents are signs of a tsunami.<\/p>\n
\u00a0* The tsunami may appear as water moving rapidly out to sea,<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0a gentle rising tide like flood with no breaking wave,<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0as a series of breaking waves, or a frothy wall of water.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0* A tsunami with damaging waves and powerful currents is \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0possible. \u00a0* Repeated coastal flooding is possible as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":267744,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[6305,14333,12,659,26,26102],"class_list":{"0":"post-267743","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-alaska","9":"tag-earthquakes","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-usa","12":"tag-world","13":"tag-world-section"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114865338299234317","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267743","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267743"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267743\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/267744"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267743"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
