All Clear for Tsunami Threat

Early Tuesday morning, a 7.9 magnitude earthquake occurred in the Gulf of Alaska southeast of Kodiak, AK. https://twitter.com/WeatherNation/status/955757796544270337 The earthquake prompted Tsunami Warnings to be issued for the coastal areas of Alaska and Tsunami Watches across the West Coast. https://twitter.com/WeatherNation/status/955765177999224832 https://twitter.com/USGS/status/955767190451638272   Due to the earthquake happening on a slip fault, the water near the earthquake wasn't displaced too much. This then led to the cancellation of the Tsunami Watches for the West Coast and Florida. Alaska was downgraded to an Advisory and then cancelled completely. https://twitter.com/WeatherNation/status/955792745070706688 https://twitter.com/WeatherNation/status/955806191262707713 For WeatherNation, Meteorologist Kate Mantych
