Full Coverage: West Coast tsunami threat - Update A powerful 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, triggering tsunami waves and alerts across the Pacific Ocean, including Japan, Alaska, Hawaii, California, Oregon, and British Columbia. Ports flooded in Russia, residents evacuated coastal zones, and waves of up to 2 feet were recorded in Japan and the U.S. The tsunami risk extended across the Pacific, prompting alerts from New Zealand to Mexico, though most regions reported minimal damage. Emergency officials urged people to avoid beaches and remain on higher ground due to the ongoing risk of aftershocks and dangerous currents. The quake is among the strongest recorded globally since 2011, with aftershocks reaching magnitude 6.9. #Earthquake #TsunamiWarning #Kamchatka #RussiaEarthquake #PacificAlert #JapanTsunami #HawaiiNews #DisasterResponse #SeismicActivity #NaturalDisaster
