Huge Russian quake triggers tsunami warnings
A very powerful magnitude 8.8 earthquake off Russia's Far Eastern Kamchatka coast on Wednesday triggered tsunami warnings as far away as French Polynesia and Chile, and was followed by an eruption of the most active volcano on the peninsula.
The shallow quake damaged buildings and injured several people in the remote Russian region, while much of Japan's eastern seaboard — devastated by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami in 2011 — was ordered to evacuate, as were parts of Hawaii.
Japan, Hawaii and Russia have since downgraded most tsunami warnings. 🔗 Read about what witnesses said about the shaking at our link in bio.
