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

In California this morning, the Berkeley Fire Department ordered a mandatory evacuation for Berkeley Marina boats, docks, and shoreline, NBC News<\/a> reported.\u00a0 Other areas such as San Francisco and Orange County were on high alert.<\/p>\n

According to the U.S. National Tsunami Warning Center, \u201cthe first wave may not be that largest.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRemember that a tsunami isn\u2019t likely to look like a classic ‘breaking wave;’\u00a0it\u2019s more of a massive surge of water that can rise quickly and with great power,\u201dThe Hawaii Emergency Management Agency has been added.<\/p>\n

CBS stated that the impact may last for many hours or even days following the first wave.<\/p>\n
