Massive 8.7 Quake Hits Kamchatka, Russia — Tsunami Watches Triggered

[Ravenlocke]

🇷🇺🇯🇵🇺🇸 BREAKING: The 8.7 magnitude earthquake off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula is now confirmed as the strongest quake globally since 2011.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center warns of tsunami waves exceeding 3 meters along Russia’s eastern coast and possibly impacting Japan and the northwestern Hawaiian Islands.

A tsunami watch remains in effect for Hawaii as a precaution. Officials are closely monitoring wave patterns across the Pacific.

BREAKING: And I mean WOW this is huge. The quake was prelim. an 8.0 but upgraded now to a massive 8.7 magnitude. This struck minutes ago off the east coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. This was a pretty shallow quake with depth of 19km (only 11 miles down). Tsunami Alerts are now active for all of Hawaii and the Alaskan Islands. A quake of this extreme intensity and shallowness can pose major tsunami risks. Tsunami alerts are expanding immediately around the Pacific Rim. Tsunami waves over 3 meters (10 feet) above normal tide levels are now possible along portions of the northwestern Hawaiian Islands and coastal areas of Russia.

🇷🇺⚠️ URGENT: Water Receding Rapidly in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Bay

A potentially catastrophic drawback is now visible in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, as water levels in the bay are receding at alarming speed—exposing sand and seafloor. This is one of the most dangerous tsunami warning signs, often signaling that a massive wave is about to follow.

Why this is terrifying:
When ocean water suddenly pulls back like this, it means an enormous volume of water is being displaced—and is likely to return with devastating force. In past tsunamis (such as the 2004 Indian Ocean disaster), similar patterns were observed minutes before giant, deadly waves struck.

📍 Locals and visitors should evacuate IMMEDIATELY to higher ground. The Kamchatka region is already under a tsunami alert after today’s 8.7 magnitude earthquake, and this development confirms imminent risk.
