7.4 magnitude Russia earthquake caught on camera by terrified resident

7.4 magnitude Russia earthquake caught on camera by terrified resident

Daily Record21-07-2025
The power of the quake was so intense that warnings were also issued for Hawaii and Japan.
Video footage has captured the terrifying moment two earthquakes struck Russia, including an immense 7.4 magnitude tremor, which resulted in a tsunami alert being triggered.

The clip shows an apartment being violently shaken by the quake's sheer power, with the ceiling shaking as the person believed to be filming can be heard expressing his fear.

The most intense quake occurred 90 miles east of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, just after the same area saw a 6.7 magnitude tremor, the Mirror reports.

This resulted in an alert being issued by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center for the Kamchatka Peninsula, warning of potential waves measuring up to one metre above tide levels along parts of the coastline.
It follows an earthquake and subsequent tsunami warning in Spain last week, which impacted British holidaymakers.

The US National Weather Service also issued a warning for Hawaii, with authorities calling for immediate action from government bodies in vulnerable areas, which could have seen waves around 0.3 metres above normal levels.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center had cautioned: "Persons located in threatened coastal areas should stay alert for information and follow instructions from national and local authorities."
Japan was also at risk. However, the warning was later withdrawn after more detailed analysis showed no threat to the islands.

Reports from Russia's state-run TASS news agency, waves of up to 0.6 metres could have struck the isolated Aleutsky District on the Commander Islands. In Ust-Kamchatsky, an area of eastern Kamchatka, 0.4 metre surges were expected, with less powerful waves hitting the peninsula's most populous south-eastern region.
Following the earthquake, seismic readings can be inaccurate, and anxiety amongst locals was high despite no immediate reports of injuries. The tsunami alert was officially withdrawn at 9.42pm local time.
