The US Tsunami Warning System has stated that there’s no warning, advisory, watch, or threat, currently in place.

There has been a rash of earthquakes in the region, including a trio of powerful events off the coast this past October. The first had a magnitude of 6.6, followed by a second of 6.8, then a 6.5 magnitude quake.

Despite the seismic events being powerful, they occurred faraway enough from land that they caused little concern.
