The Japan Meteorological Agency downgraded its tsunami warning for Japan’s southern islands to a “tsunami advisory” on Wednesday after a powerful earthquake in eastern Taiwan.
Following the earthquake, the JMA reported that waves as high as one meter (3.3 feet) may be seen in the area. It has previously issued a three-meter maximum estimated tsunami height warning. “Until the advisory is lifted, please avoid going near or into the sea,” a JMA representative stated.
