on tuesday. bonnie schneider now joining us here in the cnn center severe weather center. it s been a long 24 hours after the quake with all the tsunami warnings up and down the coastlines of the americas and, of course, over to tokyo. they are just now canceling the tsunami warnings for japan, but the japanese agencies haven t dropped their advisories. well, the japanese meteorological agency, the local agency governing the country knows their weather best, just like a lot of places have new answers. they are keeping the warnings in effect, but many have already expired. we want to take a look at that and show you some of the other areas that were at risk. you can see that japan did see a wave height of 1.2 meters, that only a few feet, so not too bad. the problem is sometimes you do see secondary waves as these storms come through, these tsunami waves. remember, it is not like a typical wave, we can see the sudden rush of water come suddenly and it can build one after the other.
