Tsunami waves are already being detected moving through the Marianas this afternoon. These fast-moving waves may continue to move through Marianas coastal waters for several hours. Even after the initial set of tsunami waves, oscillating water levels are likely to generate stronger than usual rip currents along all shorelines of the Marianas through tonight. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Rip currents will be life threatening. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help. && $$ DeCou
