Following an underwater\u00a0volcanic eruption near Tonga early this morning, the National Tsunami Warning Center has issued a tsunami advisory for regions like the U.S. West Coast, Alaska, and the Canadian Pacific coast, according to ABC News.<\/a><\/p>\n A tsunami advisory means a tsunami could produce strong currents or waves and create dangerous conditions for those in the water or beach area in those regions,\u00a0NWS Tsunami alerts tweeted out.<\/p>\n This is not the same as a warning. It means that a tsunami is likely and that communities and neighborhoods may be affected by flooding and dangerous currents.<\/p>\n \u201cA dangerous wave is on the way,\u201dThe tweet read: “Strong and unusual currents are expected along the coast, and in bays, marinas, and harbors. Move to high ground and away from the shore.\u201d<\/p>\n There were also tsunami warnings for the eastern coast of Japan, Reuters said, and New Zealand.\u00a0In addition, there was a tsunami advisory in Hawaii, but\u00a0it was later canceled, according to CBS News.<\/p>\n The damage caused by the volcano is unclear, according to CBS New<\/a>s, because internet connectivity in Tonga was lost.<\/p>\n
