japanese meteorological agency is for tsunami height about two meters. approximately six feet. it may not seem that high, but it certainly can vary depending on the depth of the area of the coastline, the height of the wave when it comes into the shoreline. real is something to be monitoring. anyone that s under a tsunami warning immediately has to leave the coastal area and seek higher ground. i can show you a better view of where the warning is. it s a smaller area where we have the warning here. here s myagi right here. and to the north and to the south for areas in the region, coastal areas, we have a tsunami advisory. so right now a smaller area under a tsunami warning, but still a serious situation where people that are on the coastline need to seek higher ground and move away from the beach immediately. even the tsunami that seems not that high at six feet, it can be damaging, and of course considering they re still recovering from the major tsunami that hit think too long ago,
