A tsunami warning has been issued for parts of California and Oregon, meaning residents are urged to move away from the coast or to high ground. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s alert system issued the warning about 11:20 p.

Waves were reported along a wide swath of the Northern California coast, including in San Francisco. The rest of the state was under a lesser tsunami advisory.

The tsunami advisory for a swath of Southern California has been canceled as other portions of the state still face a threat Wednesday.
