(32 minutes later) | |
In the initial aftermath of the earthquake, Japanese authorities issued a tsunami advisory for the island chain of Okinawa, as well as ordering people in southwestern Japan to move away from the coast. | |
This tsunami warning was lifted shortly afterwards by the Japanese Meteorological Agency. | |
Officials are continuing to urge people to remain cautious as the tide level could change, but waves never reached the 3m (9.8ft) height initially expected in some areas. | |
The Philippines, which lies to the south of Taiwan, also declared and then subsequently lifted a tsunami alert for its northern coastline. | |
Filipino officials say they had cancelled the warning after there were "no significant sea level disturbances" for several hours following the huge quake. | |
