Japan warns tsunami could last more than a day after earthquake

The country's meteorological agency warned that tsunami conditions in Japan could last for at least a day, as waves up to 60 centimeters (24 inches) continued to hit the east coast.

"Based on tsunami observations from earthquakes of similar magnitude, we expect elevated tsunami conditions to persist for at least a day," an agency spokesman said Wednesday.

"If the tsunami coincides with high tide, the tidal level could rise even higher than it is now, so we ask you to continue to exercise caution."

In its latest announcement, the agency also warned that tsunami waves could strike repeatedly and that residents in affected areas should not leave their shelters until tsunami warnings or advisories are lifted.

So far, the waves that have been recorded along the east coast of Japan have a height much lower than the initial prediction of 3 meters, although this could change.

Over 1.9 million people have been warned to evacuate in Japan./ CNA
