The National Tsunami Warning Center has officially canceled the tsunami warning that was issued for California and Oregon's coastal areas. This decision comes after no destructive tsunami was recorded following a small change in ocean height.

According to the National Tsunami Warning Center, a minor fluctuation in ocean height of several inches was detected by an ocean buoy located approximately 200 miles off the coast of California. However, this change did not result in any significant impact on the shorelines of California and Oregon.

As a result of the lack of significant tsunami activity on land, the warning has been lifted, bringing relief to residents and authorities in the affected regions. The quick response and monitoring by the National Tsunami Warning Center have ensured the safety of coastal communities.
