TO GET CHRISTOPHER WRAY TO RESIGN? >> I'M DAVE BRIGGS >> I'M CHRISTINE ROMANS

FIRST, TSUNAMI WARNINGS AFTER A POWERFUL EARTHQUAKE OFF ALASKA MEASUREMENTS SAY A 79 MAGNITUDE QUAKE HIT KODIAK IN THE GULF OF ALASKA >> TSUNAMI WARNINGS UP AND DOWN THE COAST WE HAVE CNN'S IVAN CABRERA

>> GOOD MORNING, DAVE THE WARNINGS EXTEND THROUGH BRITISH COLUMBIA AND ALL THE WAY DOWN TO SAN DIEGO IT WOULD TAKE A LONGER TIME FOR THE WAVES TO ARRIVE WHAT DO WE HAVE? A 79

IT WAS DOWN FROM ORIGINALLY WHICH WAS 82 A GREAT EARTHQUAKE THAT DOESN'T SOUND A LOT, BUT IN EARTHQUAKE WORLD IT IS AS FAR AS THE MAGNITUDE THE DEPTH IS IMPORTANT

YOU DON'T WANT A SHALLOW DEPTH 15 MILES IS SHALLOW THAT IS IMPORTANT THE DISPLACEMENT OF THE WATER WITH THAT ENERGY DOESN'T HAVE MUCH TO TRAVEL THE SURFACE WE HAD A BUOY REGISTERING WAVING UP TO 38 FEET

THAT DOESN'T MEAN 38-FEET WAVES ARRIVE TO THE COAST HERE ARE THE WARNINGS THAT EXTEND ACROSS ALASKA AND ALEUTIAN ISLANDS FROM THERE, BEGINNING ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, WHERE WE HAVE THE WATCHES THAT TCONTINUE ALONG TH WEST COAST THIS IS TO PLAY IT SAFE THE BIGGEST THREAT RIGHT NOW IS ACROSS ALASKA

REMEMBER, THE TSUNAMI IS NOT ONE WAVE A SERIES OF WAVES THEY TRAVEL AT A FAST PACE WE ARE TALKING 500 MILES AN HOUR IF THE TSUNAMI HAS BEEN GENERATED AND WE CAN PRETTY MUCH SAY IT HAS AS A RESULT OF THE BUOY, IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TIME BECAUSE OF THE EPICENTER AND THE PROXIMITY HOW CLOSE IT WAS TO ALASKA

WE SHOULD GET INFORMATION WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR AS FAR AS WHETHER A TSUNAMI WAVE HAS ARRIVED IN ALASKA AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS IN THE NEXT THREE HOURS ANY TSUNAMI WAVES PROPAGATE SOUTH AND IMPACT THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND THEY WILL GO TOWARD THE COAST SIX HOURS THE MAIN THREAT IS BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED UNDER WATER, IT IS A TSUNAMI WE ARE NOT CONCERNED AS FAR AS THE SHAKING DAMAGING BUILDINGS IT WAS FAR ENOUGH OFFSHORE

THAT IS NOT A PROBLEM THE TSUNAMI IS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE THIS IS AS WIDESPREAD AS I HAVE SEEN WARNINGS AND WATCHES FROM AN EVENT IF A LONG TIME WE W
