Tsunami warnings mean that a tsunami with significant widespread inundation is imminent or expected. Warnings indicate that widespread dangerous coastal flooding accompanied by powerful currents is possible and may continue for several hours after the initial wave arrival.

The following are recommended actions stated by the National Weather Service:

At this time it not known how this will impact the California Coast.  Persons in low-lying coastal areas should move inland to higher ground and be alert to instructions from their local emergency

officials. Tsunamis often arrive as a series of waves which could be  dangerous for several hours after the initial wave arrival.

The tsunami watch is a result of a large earthquake with a  preliminary magnitude of 8.9 on the richter scale that occurred at  9:45 pm pst. the earthquake location was near Honshu, Japan.

Excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean by "4.5"?

Height of waves in meters?
Richter scale magnitude of how powerful an earthquake is.
