The quake occurred roughly 85 miles off the eastern coast of Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula at a depth of nearly 12 miles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The agency initially reported magnitudes of 8.0 and 8.7 before upgrading it to 8.8. Significant aftershocks, including magnitudes 6.3 and 6.9, were also recorded in the region.

Tsunami warnings are in effect for Alaska’s Aleutian Islands and the entire state of Hawaii. California, Oregon, and Washington remain under tsunami advisories while officials assess the threat. The first tsunami wave is expected to reach Hawaii shortly after 7:15 p.m. local time (1:15 a.m. ET), with destructive waves anticipated, according to Oahu Emergency Management.

Hawaii’s Emergency Management Agency has activated its Emergency Operations Center, and state officials are coordinating with Governor Josh Green’s team through the Joint Information Center. As part of the statewide alert system, sirens are sounding across all Hawaiian islands every hour at 10 minutes past the hour for the next three hours.

Officials are urging residents to evacuate low-lying coastal areas immediately. In Honolulu, people are advised to leave the primary evacuation zone or seek shelter above the fourth floor of a building.

The National Weather Service warns that all coastlines in Hawaii are at risk due to the way tsunami waves can wrap around islands.

This view overlooks the mouth of iconic Waimea Bay, the site of the famous big wave surfing competition: the Eddie Aikau. The period spanning from November to February stands out as the optimal window for witnessing large waves. During these months, the waves can reach staggering heights, occasionally exceeding thirty feet, posing a significant risk even for seasoned surfers. It's crucial to always pay attention to warning signs. In contrast, from May to September, the waves mellow out, cultivating a more serene environment suitable for surfing and swimming. Visible from this camera is The Waiʻanae mountain range on the west side, which separates Central Oʻahu from the Leeward Coast and is the oldest part of Oʻahu at roughly four million years old. The tallest point of Oahu is Mt Ka'ala at 4,025 feet (1,227 meters). In the evening this camera captures the beautiful sunsets off Ka'ena Point, the westernmost tip of Oahu.
