The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) on Wednesday afternoon canceled its tsunami advisory for the magnitude 8.7 earthquake off the east coast of Kamchatka, Russia.
“Based on available data from our sea level monitoring stations facing the Philippine Sea, no significant sea level disturbances nor destructive tsunami waves have been recorded since the 7:25 a.m. earthquake up until this cancellation,” Phivolcs said in its final tsunami information issued at 4:40 p.m.
“With this, any effects due to minor sea level disturbances have largely passed, and therefore, (Phivolcs) has now canceled the recommendations issued for this event,” it added.
