A powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Russia has resulted in tsunami warnings across the Pacific, affecting regions as far as Hawaii and California. Despite initial fears, many areas reported minimal tsunami effects, with some advisories lifted soon after. In the U.S., evacuations were ordered in Southern California and warnings raised along the West Coast, while cruise passengers in Hawaii experienced chaos as sirens blared. Meanwhile, satellite images revealed damage to a Russian nuclear submarine base, raising concerns about safety protocols. As millions return home following lifted warnings, discussions continue regarding the unusual lack of significant tsunami impact following such a massive quake.
