Earthquake Sparks Tsunami Across the Pacific
A powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck off the eastern coast of Russia, prompting tsunami warnings for countries throughout the Pacific region, including the U.S. Pacific coastline. The tremor, tied as the sixth strongest ever recorded, has already triggered tsunami waves now reaching U.S. shores.
Hawaii on High Alert
The Hawaiian Islands are facing the possibility of 10-foot tsunami waves, particularly along their northern coasts. Honolulu’s mayor has urged residents to seek higher ground, and Governor Josh Green has called for the immediate evacuation of coastal zones. “It will not hit one beach, it will wrap around the islands,” he emphasized.
Evacuations and Precautions Underway
Tsunami waves have already impacted areas including Hawaii, Alaska, Russia, and Japan. Emergency services and authorities are actively ordering evacuations in at-risk Pacific regions to prevent loss of life and injuries.
Estimated Arrival Times Available
Residents along the U.S. Pacific coast can access projected tsunami arrival times to stay informed. Timing may vary by location, and the situation remains fluid as wave patterns evolve.
What to Do if You’re Under Tsunami Alert
If you’re in an affected zone, move inland or to elevated areas immediately. Stay tuned to local authorities for updates, and avoid beaches and harbors. Emergency guidance for tsunami preparedness is available through official alert systems and government websites.
