Tsunami alerts were triggered in Alaska, Hawaii, and California. In Hawaii, the tsunami warnings shifted to an advisory, and officials lifted evacuation orders. Much of coastal California was under a tsunami advisory, but areas like Crescent City remained under a tsunami warning early on July 30.

The large earthquake off of Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula triggered a tsunami warning for part of the Aleutians, and an advisory for other parts of the state.

One of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded has sent a tsunami crashing into a Russian port and smaller waves barreling across the Pacific to the Americas and south to New Zealand.
