Earthquake Magnitude 7.2 Hits Mariana Islands; Tsunami Watch Issued
Mitch Battros
There is a possibility of a local tsunami that could affect coasts located usually no more than one hundred kilometers from the earthquake epicenter. Due to the only limited sea level data from the region, it may not be possible for the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center/NOAA to rapidly confirm nor evaluate the strength of a tsunami if one has been generated.
