ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The waves from the tsunami racing across the Pacific Ocean after the earthquake in Chile are starting to reach British Columbia and southeast Alaska.
West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center Director Paul Whitmore says there’s been a report of a 1-foot wave at Winter Harbour, B.C. The waves were expected to reach Craig, Alaska, at about 4 p.m. local time.
Wave heights appear to be decreasing in California. But Whitmore says they are still getting reports of waves up to two feet, and that will keep the tsunami advisory in place for a few more hours.
