Just coastal, no land warning.



Nothing to really get worried about here. (unless you own some boats or have a beachfront property )

Warning list for the west coast,

http://wcatwc.arh.noaa.gov/2010/02/27/725245/07/webeta725245-07.txt

The following list gives estimated times of arrival for
locations along the North American Pacific coast from a
tsunami generated at the given source location. The
list is ordered by arrival time starting with the earliest.
Since tsunami speed is directly related to
water depth, tsunami ETAs can be computed independent of
tsunami amplitude. THE LISTING OF A TSUNAMI ARRIVAL TIME
BELOW DOES NOT INDICATE A WAVE IS IMMINENT. The listed arrival
time is the initial wave arrival. Tsunamis can be dangerous
for many hours after arrival, and the initial wave is not
necessarily the largest.

may or may not happen up the coast, but something to watch for if anyone is in those places.
