TOKYO (AP) — One of the world’s strongest earthquakes struck Russia’s Far East early Wednesday, an 8.8-magnitude temblor that set off a tsunami in the northern Pacific region and prompted warnings for Alaska, Hawaii and other coasts south toward New Zealand.

Tsunami warning sirens blared Tuesday in Honolulu and people moved to higher ground.

The Japan Meteorological Agency said a tsunami measuring 40 centimeters (1.3 feet) was detected in Tokachi, on the southern coast of Hokkaido, the northernmost of the country’s main islands.

The Russian areas nearest the quake’s epicenter on the Kamchatka Peninsula reported damage and evacuations, but no serious injuries.

The first tsunami wave hit the coastal area of Severo-Kurilsk, the main settlement on Russia’s Kuril Islands in the Pacific, according to the local governor Valery Limarenko. He said residents were safe and staying on high ground until the threat of a repeat wave was gone.

UPDATE:

A tsunami has hit coastal areas of Russia’s Kuril Islands and Japan’s large northern island of Hokkaido after a powerful, 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Russia early Wednesday. Warnings are also in place for California, Alaska, Hawaii and other coasts south toward New Zealand.

The Japan Meteorological Agency said a tsunami as high as 40 centimeters (1.3 feet) had been detected in 16 locations as the waves moved south along the Pacific coast from Hokkaido to just northeast of Tokyo. Officials urged caution, saying that bigger waves could come later.

Damage and evacuations were reported in the Russian regions nearest the quake’s epicenter on the Kamchatka Peninsula.

What to know:

Hawaii under evacuation: Sirens blared in Honolulu as residents were urged to higher ground. “Urgent action should be taken to protect lives and property,” the warning stated. The first waves in Hawaii were expected around 7 p.m. local time.

Other tsunami warnings: The National Tsunami Warning Center, based in Alaska, issued a tsunami advisory for parts of California, Oregon and Washington. A tsunami advisory has also been issued for much of the coast of Canada’s Pacific Coast province of British Columbia.

The earthquake: The quake, which struck at 8:25 a.m. Japan time, had a preliminary magnitude of 8.0, Japan and U.S. seismologists said. The U.S. Geological Survey later updated its measurement to 8.8 magnitude. The quake was centered about 119 kilometers (74 miles) east-southeast from the Russian city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Multiple aftershocks as strong as 6.9 magnitude were recorded.

Yea i already heard that Trump did it to get the epstine heat off him!
 
We in New Zealand received an emergency message this evening telling us to stay away from the beaches and low lying areas. I look forward to seeing videos of those who go sight-seeing and then complain when they nearly drown.

That's one topic that drives me nuts... this planet has been undergoing extreme weather cycles for 4½  billion years. That's 4500 millions. A length of time we can't even fathom. Yet people seem to think that humans are somehow contributing to climate change?

We've been here for the time equivalent of less than a second. Volcanos have erupted millions of times. The entire surface of the planet has frozen and thawed millions of times, we have the audacity to think our puny race can alter the entire planet's climate in any way that will have a lasting effect?

Fuck that shit. A hundred thousand years from now, there will be no evidence at all that we were ever here to begin with.

That's against overwhelming scientific evidence and established theory.
