One of the strongest earthquakes, ever recorded a large population populated of Russia in the early hours of Wednesday, sent the Sunmi waves to Japan, Hawaii and US West Coast. Many people were injured, but no one was seriously, and so far there has been no major damage.
Officials warned that 8.8 magnitude earthquakes could last for hours, and potentially millions of people were initially asked to move away from the coast or look for high land.
But this danger was already less visible in some places, Hawaii and parts of Japan reduced their warnings. Officers on Russia’s Dastak Peninsula near the earthquake sub -center canceled their tsunami warning.
The ports of the ports near the ports flooded with the ports when they were washed on the shore in the northern Japan, while the fratthi, white waves were washed on the shore. Cars blocked roads and highways in Honolulu, even with standsstil traffic in areas away from the sea.
People with the 2011 earthquake and memories of tsunami come to the evacuation centers in the affected areas of Japan, which caused reactor meltdown at an atomic power plant. There was no abnormalities in operations in Japan’s nuclear plants on Wednesday.
Russian officials said many people were injured, but said that all were in a stable position, although they gave some details. In Japan, at least one person was injured.
Officials said the tsunami height of 3 to 4 meters (10 to 13 ft) was recorded at 60 cm (2 ft) in Japan’s northern island Hokkaido, while tsunami waves reached San Francisco on Wednesday, about 2 to 5 feet high.
Most of the West Coast, California, Oregon, Washington State and Canadian province of British Columbia, were under a tsunami advisor.
Tsunami Advisor to Hawaii Dowgrad
Hawaii was still under the tsunami advisor as the Hawaii begins on Wednesday, but Big Island and Ohu, the most populous island orders were removed.
A consultant means that with strong currents and dangerous waves -the capacity for floods on the beaches or in the ports.
“When you return home, still stay away from the beach and stay out of the water,” said James Barros, administrator of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency.
The effect of tsunami can last for hours or perhaps more than a day, the tsunami warning coordinator, Dave Snider, with the National Tsunami Warning Center in Alaska.
“A tsunami is not just a wave,” he said. “This is a series of powerful waves in a long period. Tsunamis cross the sea hundreds of miles in an hour – as a jet airplane – in deep water. But when they get closer to the shore, they slow down and start stacking.
Hawaii village. Josh Green earlier stated that Black Hawk Helicopters were active and high water vehicles ready to go in terms of officers need to save people.
The Oregon Department of Emergency Management said on Facebook that small tsunami waves were expected along the coast. This urged people to stay away from beaches, ports and marina and stay in a safe place away from the coast until the advisor is removed.
The department said, “This is not a major tsunami, but dangerous currents and strong waves can pose risk to those near water,” the department said.
The tsunami Vancouver Island, less than 30 centimeters (less than 1 foot), was predicted to hit parts of British Columbia, and waves of 1.4 feet (less than 30 cm) were observed in the Alatian islands of Alaska.
Russian areas report limited damage
The Oceanology Institute, Russia, stated that tsunami waves may be more in some sections of the doodle coast as 10 to 15 meters (30 to 50 ft).
Later, Russian authorities on the Kamachakat Peninsula and Kuril Islands canceled the tsunami warning, although he said some risks remained.
The regional branch of the Russian Ministry of Emergency on Dastaka warned that scientists expect a magnitude up to 7.5. It said that more tsunami is possible in Avacha Gulf, where the regional capital of Petropavalovsk-Kampachatsky is located.
In Petropavalovsk-CampaChatski, the earthquake damaged a local kindergarten, which was not in operation at that time because it was being rebuilt.
Regional Health Department head Oleg Melnikov said that some people hurt themselves while running to leave the buildings and injured a hospital patient while jumping out of a window. Melnikov said that all the injured were stable.
A video released by the Russian Media Outlets featured a team of doctors in a cancer clinic at a cancer clinic and catching medical equipment, as the earthquake shook an operating room, before he continued with surgery after the shruks shut down.
The authorities introduced the emergency situation on the aromatic kurils – which are between the cheese and Japan – after the tsunami. He earlier reported that several waves filled the fishing port of Severo-Kurilsk, the main city of the islands, and cut the power supply in the area. The mayor of the port said no major damage was recorded.
The world’s strongest recorded quake
According to the US Geological Survey, there was an earthquake in Japan’s time at 8:25 am with 8.8 magnitude and a depth of about 21 kilometers (13 mi).
The Russian city was focused on a distance of about 120 kilometers (75 mi) from Petropavalovsk-Kampachatski. 6.9 many afterchoxes were strong as magnitude.
In March 2011, the earthquake was the strongest earthquake since the 9.0 magnitude earthquake of Northeastern Japan, which caused a large -scale tsunami that shut down the meltdown at a nuclear power plant. Only a few strong earthquakes have been measured worldwide.
Japanese nuclear power plants did not explain any abnormalities. The operator of the Fukushima Daichi plant damaged by the 2011 tsunami, with about 4,000 workers taking shelter on high ground in the plant premises, monitoring from far away to ensure safety.
The tsunami alert disrupted transport in Japan, delaying or delaying some tasks with ghats, trains and airports in the affected area.
According to the Meteorological Agency of Japan, a 60 cm (2 feet) tsunami was recorded in Hokkaido and Hamnka Town of Kuji port. Many areas reported small waves in Tokyo Bay, including 20 centimeters (8 inches), which was five hours after the earthquake.
The Japanese meteorological agency downed its tsunami alert for a consultant in the Pacific coast south of Fukushima, with still alert in north site.
In Japan’s northern coastal city of Matsushima, dozens of residents took refuge in a clearance center, where water bottles were distributed. One person told NHK that she had come under the convenience of any hesitation on the basis of lesson from the 2011 tsunami.
