Lots of sources claiming it might be anywhere between 8.0 and 9.0.

Al Jazeera:

> The US National Tsunami Warning Center, which downgraded the quake from an earlier estimate of magnitude 8.2, said the quake posed no threat to coastal areas of the US.

Yes, that is common though. You have a variety of measurements, from a variety of technologies, and from a variety of sources. Given the damage a quake and tsunami can cause, especially the early measurements are estimates that later get corrected in light of new information. In Japan for example, it is very much not uncommon that early tsunami warnings are later cancelled. Yes, false alarms are bad, but the example I usually use in terms of how much time can matter is the 1983 Sea of Japan quake [1], where the tsunami hit in 12 minutes after the quake.

The most reliable up-to-date source is typically Phivolcs, but currently their website is overloaded, so X/Twitter:

Phivolcs literally gets hugged to death after almost every significant event. Really unfortunate considering the subject matter.

Unacceptable given it could be life and death. Understandable that clients' coverage struggles courtesy of Philippines' patchy cellular networks, but far less forgivable that a server for a critical emergency website has problems.

Civil Defence here in NZ is saying there's no tsunami threat (to NZ anyway):

Felt it ~600KM away in a high floor, building was swaying. Others didn't feel it and at first I thought I was just [unusually] light-headed or something, but then we realized a door was swinging back and forth slightly, and a hanging plant was swaying.
