July 29, 2025
A powerful earthquake that struck off the coast of Russia has generated tsunami warnings and advisories for a broad section of the Pacific, including Alaska, Hawaii and the U.S. West Coast. The U.S. Geological Survey says the quake registered a magnitude of 8.8 and was centered off the coast of Kamchatka peninsula. If you get a tsunami warning, move to higher ground if you are in a tsunami hazard zone. Some communities have buildings designated as meetup points during tsunami warnings, such as a school. Others might simply urge residents to retreat up a hillside.
