Magnitude-8.8 Quake Triggers Pacific-Wide Tsunami Warnings, US, Asia, Pacific Islands Evacuate
A massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, triggering tsunami warnings and evacuations across the Pacific Rim, including the U.S. West Coast, Hawaii, Alaska, Japan, China, Peru, Ecuador, and Pacific island nations. The strongest waves in the U.S. are expected along California’s northern coast, particularly in Del Norte County and Crescent City, where waves up to five feet have been observed, prompting localized evacuations and warnings for boat owners. Hawaii recorded waves up to four feet before downgrading alerts, while Japan experienced minor waves and urged continued vigilance due to the possibility of larger subsequent waves. The U.S. embassy has advised American citizens in Pacific island nations like Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, and Papua New Guinea to prepare for possible dangerous flooding and tsunami threats, recommending evacuation to higher ground if unusual sea activity or strong shaking occurs. President Donald Trump urged Americans in affected areas to stay strong and safe, sharing official guidance on tsunami warnings via social media. Meanwhile, China, Peru, and Ecuador issued tsunami advisories and undertook precautionary evacuations, highlighting the broad international impact of this powerful seismic event.
