Special Weather Statement
Sponsored by State Farm

Statement as of 3:05 PM PDT on May 09, 2008


... A strong earthquake has occurred but a tsunami is not
   expected along the California/ Oregon/ Washington/
   British Columbia or Alaska coasts...

No - repeat no - warning... watch or advisory is in effect for
   these areas.

Based on the earthquake magnitude and historic tsunami records
a damaging tsunami is not expected along
the California/ Oregon/ Washington/ British Columbia and Alaska
coasts. At coastal locations which have experienced
strong ground shaking local tsunamis are possible due
to underwater landslides.

At 252 PM Pacific daylight time on may 9 an earthquake with
preliminary magnitude 6.5 occurred
south of the Mariana islands.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Ewa Beach Hawaii will issue
messages for Hawaii and other areas of the Pacific outside
California/ Oregon/ Washington/ British Columbia and Alaska.

This will be the only statement issued for this event by the
West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center unless additional
information becomes available. See the web site wcatwc.Arh.NOAA.Gov
