Surgeons calmly react to magnitude 8.8 earthquake mid-operation
Don't miss out on the headlines from Environment. Followed categories will be added to My News. Think you had a bad day at work? You might have had a run-in with your boss, or maybe you missed the bus and were forced to run through the rain. Whatever it is, it's probably not as stressful as what these blokes went through today. As the massive magnitude 8.8 earthquake rattled Russia's remote Kamchatka Peninsula on Wednesday, a team of surgeons were put to the test as their operating room shook under the might of the planet's biggest tremor in 14 years. Russia's state-controlled broadcaster RT shared the dramatic video from inside Kamchatka hospital, showing the medical team gripping the patient's bed to keep everything in place while looking around at the instruments rattling across the room. The team reportedly finished the procedure without interruption. 'The surgery went well and the patient was in recovery,' RT reported. X Learn More SUBSCRIBER ONLY As the massive magnitude 8.8 earthquake rattled Russia's remote Kamchatka Peninsula on Wednesday, a team of surgeons were put to the test as their operating room shook under the might of the planet's biggest tremor in 14 years. Along the peninsula's coast, tsunami waves inundated port areas, prompting residents to flee inland. Authorities said the population of around 2,000 people was evacuated safely after several people were injured by the quake. 'The walls were shaking,' a Kamchatka resident told Russian state media. 'It's good that we packed a suitcase, there was one with water and clothes near the door. We quickly grabbed it and ran out... It was very scary,' she said. Within hours of the quake, warnings and advisories spread across the Pacific, from Alaska and Hawaii to the US West Coast. Japan, China and New Zealand also issued alerts. In northern Japan, frothy white waves rolled ashore, while in Honolulu, traffic gridlock lined streets far from the coastline. Japanese authorities opened evacuation centres, their urgency driven by memories of the 2011 disaster that crippled a coastal nuclear plant. Official measurements put the tsunami at 3–4 m in Kamchatka, 60 cm on Hokkaido, and just under 30 cm above tide level in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska.

Nine of Melbourne's cosiest bowls to wrap your hands around this winter
For this hatted restaurant 's winter residency program, chef Harriet Tomlinson (a regular on the pop-up circuit) is sharing lighter cold weather dishes. On the four-course menu is a clear bone marrow broth infused with house-made citrus kosho, a punchy Japanese condiment made with mandarins or other citrus Tomlinson has on hand plus green chillies. Garden peas sit atop the marrow bone, adding pops of freshness.
