The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has canceled all tsunami warnings issued Friday because of the 8.9 earthquake off Japan.

The final advisory — for the coastal areas from Alamitos Bay, Calif., to the Oregon-California border, was canceled this morning.

Damaging tsunamis are no longer expected to impact the U.S. West Coast states and British Columbia, the warning center said in a bulletin.
