Recent developments in the Asia-Pacific region have seen both the Philippines and Japan cancel their tsunami warnings following a 7.4 magnitude earthquake that struck Taiwan on Wednesday morning. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has also indicated that the threat to the United States has largely passed.
In Taiwan, tsunami waves measuring nearly half a meter were observed in Chenggong, located approximately 100 km south of the earthquake's epicenter. While no major damage was reported, it is important to note that observed tsunami heights can increase significantly upon reaching the shore.
