TOP STORY:
The tsunami advisory that was in effect for coastal areas of San Diego County was lifted early Wednesday morning.
With the advisory no longer in effect, the NWS stated, "... some areas may continue to experience small sea level changes. As local conditions can cause a wide variation in tsunami wave action, the all clear determinations must be made by local authorities."
The advisory was put in place after a powerful earthquake measuring a magnitude 8.8 rocked Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula on Tuesday.
A tsunami advisory is issued when a tsunami with the potential to generate strong currents or waves dangerous to those in or very near the water is imminent, expected or occurring, according to the centers.
Under the adivosry, people living in coastal areas were advised by the National Weather Service to move off the beach and out of harbors and marinas.
The public was also advised by the weather service to not go to the coast to watch and to be alert to instructions from local emergency management officials.
The quake struck at about 4:25 p.m. Tuesday Pacific Daylight Time. Aftershocks measuring magnitudes of 6.9 and 6.3 were recorded over the ensuing hour after the original temblor, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
More serious tsunami warnings were issued for Hawaii and the Alaska coast in response to the quake.
