8.8-erupted earthquake sends tsunami to the coast of Russia, Japan and Alaska

On Wednesday morning, one of the earthquakes affecting Russia’s Far East sent tsunami waves to Japan and Hawaii and the Pacific. No specific damage has been reported so far, but authorities have warned people away from coastal lines and said that the risk could last more than a day.

The ports on the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia flooded near the 8.8 dimensional earthquake when the residents fled abroad, and white waves in northern Japan were washed away. In the capital of Hawaii, cars jammed the streets and highways, even with traffic from the coast with traffic.

People went to the affected areas of Japan, with the 2011 earthquake and fresh memories of tsunami that led to a reactor malfunction at a nuclear power plant. There is no usefulness in the operations in Japan’s nuclear plants on Wednesday.

Russian officials said several people were injured, without data. In Japan, at least one person was injured.

The tsunami height in the northern island of Hokkido, Japan, was recorded at 3-4 meters (10 to 13 feet), and Japan’s northern island of Hokkido was 60 cm (2 feet), and Alaska’s alotian islands were observed at 1.4 feet (less than 30 cm) above the maize surface.

Hawaii and Oregon warned of potential damage to residents

The effects of the tsunami can last for hours or perhaps more than a day, said Dave Sander, a tsunami warning coordinator with the National Tsunami Warning Center in Alaska.

“Tsunami is not just a wave,” he said. “This is a series of powerful waves in a long time. Tsunami an hour away – an hour away – tsunamis crossed the sea.

“In this case, because of the land, mainly sending these large waves of water across the sea, they have been retreating for a long time,” he said, which is why some communities may have a greater impact.

Air Government Josh Green said that the data obtained from the Midway Atul, which is between Japan and Hawaii, is from the top of the waves from the peak to 6 feet (1.8 meters). He said the waves that hit the air could be big or small and it was too early to tell how big they would be. He said that the tsunami of this size would be like a 3 feet (90 cm) wave on top of the surf.

“This is a long wave that has great power in the coast and the earth,” he said at a news conference.

Green said Black Hawk helicopters have been activated and high water vehicles are ready to go if people need to be saved. “But please harm yourself,” he said.

The Oregon Department of Emergency Management has said on Facebook that small waves of tsunami are expected to be around the coast at around 11:00 pm local time, with the wave height between 1 to 2 feet (30 to 60 cm). He urged the people to stay away from the beaches, ports and the Marines, and stay in a safe place far from the coast until the consultation is over.

The department said, “This is not a big tsunami, but dangerous streams and strong waves can put people around the water.”

Most of the west coast, California, Washington State, and British Colombia’s Canadian Canada, was also under a tsunami consulting.

Parts in the Vancouver island of British Columbia predicted that a tsunami was forecast less than 30 cm (less than 1 feet). The province’s emergency preparation agency said the waves are expected to arrive at the remote Langara island around 10:05 pm on Tuesday, and around 11:30 pm near Tofino, the agency said that “several waves over time” are expected.

Limited damage reported in Russian areas

The early earthquake intensified at 8:25 am in Japan. The American Geological Survey later updated its strength at 8.8 intensity and 20.7 km (13 miles).

The earthquake was about 119 km (74 miles) in the southeast east of the Russian city of Petropulosk Comachsky, with a total population of 180,000, with a population of 180,000. Many aftershocks came after a strong 6.9 intensity.

Alexander Owaisyanikov, mayor of Cyrokorelsk, said there was a flood from tsunami waves in the port in the city, and washing fishing boats in the sea. He said no major loss was recorded.

Power supply has been stopped and authorities were examining the power network after the flood.

In the world’s strongest recorded earthquake

The earthquake was the strongest in the world since the 9.0 magnitude earthquake away from northeastern Japan in March 2011, causing a massive tsunami that began to melt in a nuclear power plant. Only a few strong earthquakes have been measured worldwide.

The tsunami alert disrupted transport in Japan, with some operations with trains, trains and airports in the affected area.

According to the Japanese Meteorological Agency, a tsunami of 60 cm (2 feet) was recorded in Hukido’s Humanaka town and the cojie port of Awe. Five hours after the earthquake, small waves were reported in several areas, including 20 cm (8 inch) in Tokyo Bay.

In Japan’s northern coastal town of Mitsushima, dozens of residents took refuge in the center of an evacuation, where water bottles were distributed and an air conditioner was operating. One person told the NHK that she came under no hesitation on the basis of the 2011 tsunami lesson.

Japan’s chief cabinet secretary Yoshima Hiashi warned the evacuation that he would not be able to return home by the end of the day, as the tsunami waves could remain high.

Japanese nuclear power plants did not report to an abnormalities. The operator of the Fukushima Dachi plant, damaged by the 2011 tsunami, said that nearly 4,000 workers are taking shelter on high ground at the plant complex, while monitoring from afar to ensure safety.

Philippine authorities advised people to stay away from the beach and coastal areas. “This may not be the largest of the waves, but it can continue for hours and endanger people who swim in the water,” told the Associate Press of the Philippine Institute of Volcano and earthquake Filipino Institute.

The Mexican Navy has warned that the tsunami waves will begin to reach the northern coast of Einsada, near California around 02:22 am on Wednesday, and about the local time, about 07: 15, on the coast of the Mediterranean, on the coast of the Pacific.

New Zealand authorities warn about “strong and extraordinary streams and unexpected rise” along all the coast of the nation on the southern Pacific island. The Emergency Management Agency said that people should be out of the water, off the coast and from ports, marines, rivers and routes.

People were urged to stay away from the coast’s lines until a wave in the Fiji, Samua, Tonga, Micronia states and Suleiman Island at the end of Wednesday.

Due to climate change, the chains of some small and lower Pacific islands are most affected in the world that are affected by climate change due to tsunamis and growing oceans.

Earlier in July, five powerful earthquakes – which fell into the sea near Kamchatka with a magnitude of 7.4. The largest earthquake was 20 km deep and was 144 km (89 miles) east of the city of Petropolosak Kamchtski.
