8.8-Magnitude Russia Earthquake Triggers Tsunami Evacuations Hawaii, Alaska, West Coast
A massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula triggered tsunami alerts across Hawaii, Alaska, and the U.S. West Coast, prompting evacuation orders for low-lying areas and urging residents to move to higher ground. In Hawaii, sirens blared overnight, causing many residents to scramble inland amid heavy traffic jams, while some others ignored warnings and gathered to watch the waves or surf. Emergency officials in Alaska warned of potentially powerful waves striking within hours, and beachgoers in California, Oregon, and Washington were advised to stay out of the water. Online videos captured the panic and mixed reactions among residents, including visible distress and unexpected cheering from some. Despite the threat, many residents flocked to the north shores of Kauai and O'ahu to witness the shoreline receding, drawn by the dramatic views during the tsunami alert. Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely as the first tsunami waves hit Hawaii.
