Key information extracted from original GTS message :
- It is not known that a TSUNAMI was generated
- This watch is based only on the earthquake evaluation
- An earthquake of this size has the potential to generate a TSUNAMI that can strike coastlines with a wave height greater than 0.5m and/or cause a TSUNAMI run-up greater than 1m
- Authorities should take appropriate action in response to this possibility
- This center will monitor sea level data from gauges near the earthquake to determine if a TSUNAMI was generated and estimate the severity of the threat
