>> remain, you are seeing a shift from the west coast, to some extent, to shippers, operators looking to avoid the west coast congestion and shipping over to east coast ports, so that has been part of it, but we are seeing this now carry over into the bulk commodity industry also, steel and metals, where we have ships waiting, looking for berths in philadelphia, houston. >> why are we seeing that in bulk? last year, we saw a lot of ports were prioritizing bulk, so we were not necessarily seeing those pileups. what has changed? >> volume has increased in steel and metals, and a shift from congested container operatio to bulk operation. take a look, for example, at a big agricultural trader that recently moved a bulk copy shipment into new orleans. that's not something typical. coffee is typically moved in containers, but they did a bulk copy shipment into the port of new orleans. we are seeing more of that. that is certainly an example of a shift out of the container world and into the bulk world. >> to the extent that you are seeing people find solutions around some supply chain backl

what do people on the west coast and alaska need to know about this advisory? >> so where the advisory is and what it details in the forecast are really going to be the key messages here. again, basically all of the area where you see yellow here, the entire west coast of the lower 48, the western coast of canada and basically the entire southern coast of alaska is under a tsunami advisory. we expect wave heights 1 to 2 feet. and that may not sound like that much, but it's enough water, if you're walking, it's enough to sweep you off your feet. it may not sound like a large number, but it will be. you also have the rip currents in the forecast. this isn't just one wave and it's done. it's multiple waves and will be ongoing for several hours across these areas. we've already have some waves observed. several areas of alaska picking up around 1 foot waves. the advisory that had been in hawaii has come to an end, but these are some of the wave heights that were observed there. the vast majority of them ranging between 1 and 3 feet. so similar to what we expect alo
