Jan 15 (Reuters) - Tsunami waves measuring 2 feet in height were observed by sea-level gauges at the capital of the U.S. territory of American Samao following volcanic activity in Tonga, the U.S.-based Pacific tsunami warning center said.
The tsunami threat continues and sea level fluctuations and strong ocean currents pose hazards along beaches in harbors, the tsunami monitor said in a statement https://tsunami.gov/events/PHEB/2022/01/15/22015050/1/WEZS40/WEZS40.txt.
