Se levanta advertencia de Tsunami  después del terremoto en Chile

Olas de menos de un metro alcanzan Polinesia Francesa mientras que el centro de advertencia dice que un gran tsunami no esta previsto en Hawái

Chile levanto su advertencia de tsunami el jueves y las Islas del Pacifico solo registraron olas menores, horas después de que un terremoto de magnitud 8.3  habría causado temor de olas masivas.

“La alerta de tsunami se levanta para todo el territorio nacional”, dijo la oficina nacional de emergencia del gobierno chileno en un tweet.

El Centro de Alerta de Tsunamis del Pacífico (PTWC por sus siglas en ingles) había emitido un mensaje de advertencia informando que peligrosas olas de tsunami estaban pronosticadas en algunas costas. “Se han observado olas de tsunami”, fue la ultima noticia comunicada este jueves.

El PTWC dijo que las primeras olas llegaron a la ciudad oriental de Rikitea, en la Isla de Mangareva en Polinesia Francesa, pero solo midieron 28 centimetros de altura. Esto sucedio en las primeras horas de la mañana en Rikitea, lo que significa que pocas personas estuvieron en las playas.
