Tsunami alerts triggered for Hawaii, Alaska, U.S. West Coast after massive 8.7 quake strikes off Russia

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center says a quake of that magnitude may have triggered a tsunami that would be destructive to coastal areas even far from the epicenter.
By Scott Sistek

HONOLULU - Parts of Alaska are under Tsunami Warnings while the entire U.S. West Coast and the state of Hawaii are under Tsunami Watches after a monster magnitude 8.7 earthquake struck off the east coast of Russia Tuesday evening.

The quake hit at 1:24 p.m. Hawaiian Time (7:24 p.m. ET, 2:24 a.m. Wednesday local time) about 85 miles east of Kamchatsky off the eastern Russian coast.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center says a quake of that magnitude may have triggered a tsunami that would be destructive to coastal areas even far from the epicenter.

Initial data from the quake suggest tsunami waves reaching more than 9 feet above the tide level are possible along some coasts of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and Russia, according to the PTWC. Waves of 3-9 feet (1-3 meters) are possible along some coasts of Hawaii, Japan, and Guam.

The threat to the U.S. Coast is still under evaluation.

Waves are expected to reach Shemya at 4:46 p.m. Alaska Daylight time, and 5:46 p.m. AKDT in Adak.

You may find 'nobility' in a savage. But never forget that his first instinct is to kill you.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

"Out of an abundance of caution" The fear porn media hyped this thing like millions of people were gonna die!  Good news was it forced Oprah to open her private road to let evacuatees get out of the gridlock and to higher ground.

Apparently, Oprah's road wasn't opened until a lot of desperate people complained and she received criticism on X.

Meanwhile, waves have hit Hawaii:

A Russian man walking his dog captured an amazing moment as tsunami waves hit Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula.
