Key information extracted from original GTS message :

Evaluation

Sea level readings indicate a TSUNAMI was generated
It MAY have been destructive along coasts near the earthquake epicenter and could also be a threat to more distant coasts
Authorities should take appropriate action in response to this possibility
This center will continue to monitor sea level data to determine the extent and severity of the threat
For all areas - when no major waves are observed for two hours after the estimated time of arrival or damaging waves have not occurred for at least two hours then local authorities can assume the threat is passed
Danger to boats and coastal structures can continue for several hours due to rapid currents
As local conditions can cause a wide variation in TSUNAMI wave action the all clear determination must be made by local authorities
