Tsunami advisories were issued for Hawaii, Alaska and the U.S. Pacific coast.
New Zealand's military said it was monitoring the situation and remained on standby, ready to assist if asked. As night fell, there were no reports of any damage and the Hawaii-based tsunami center canceled the alert.Authorities in the nearby island nations of Fiji and Samoa also issued warnings, telling people to avoid the shoreline due to strong currents and dangerous waves. The Japan Meteorological Agency said there may be a slight swelling of the water along the Japanese coasts, but it was not expected to cause any damage.
"Can literally hear the volcano eruption, sounds pretty violent," he wrote, adding in a later post: "Raining ash and tiny pebbles, darkness blanketing the sky." "The surface area of the island appears to have expanded by nearly 45% due to ashfall," Planet Labs said days before the latest activity. "It looks like everything will stay below the warning level, but it’s difficult to predict because this is a volcanic eruption, and we’re set up to measure earthquake or seismic-driven sea waves," Snider said.
"The waves are looking pretty flat," Pless said. "We’re hoping they reopen the beach in a couple hours." As night fell, there were no reports of any damage and the Hawaii-based tsunami center canceled the alert.
