Japan, Russia Tsunami: New Baba Vanga's July 2025 prediction comes true, Tsunami hits Russia after 8.7 quake off Kamchatka
New Baba Vanga: A massive magnitude-8.7 earthquake struck off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula on Wednesday. This has triggered tsunami waves that reached Japan's northern island of Hokkaido and Russia's Kuril Islands. It is important to note that this powerful natural disaster came just weeks after a prediction by Japanese manga artist and self-proclaimed clairvoyant Ryo Tatsuki began trending online.
Often dubbed the 'New Baba Vanga of Japan', Tatsuki wrote in her 1999 manga book 'The Future I Saw' that the seas around southern Japan would 'boil' on July 5, 2025.

Tsunami warnings fade after strongest earthquake in 14 years hits Russia's Kamchatka
A day after an 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Russia's Kamchatka, tsunami warnings and advisories have slowly started to fade away as the world reels in the aftermath of strongest earthquake in 14 years. A tsunami hazard zone sign is posted near Santa Monica beach with an advisory in effect in other parts of California on July 30.(Getty Images via AFP) Wednesday's earthquake was recorded as the strongest earthquake in 14 years, after the 2011 Japan megaquake. The 8.8 magnitude quake triggered tsunami warnings for several countries surrounding the Pacific Ocean. Immediate tsunami alerts and warnings were issued for eastern Russian, US states of Hawaii and Alaska and Japan. Due to the magnitude of the earthquake, tsunami advisories and warnings were later on activated for all countries and islands surrounding the Pacific Ocean. The US west coast including Alaska and Hawaii, Japan, China, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, El Salvador, Chile, Guam, New Zealand, Australia and other countries were under advisories for a tsunami.

The first waves of the tsunami hit Russia near the fishing port of Severo-Kurilsk. As per reports, the Russian region saw waves up to 6 metres.

In Hawaii, waves of 1.7 metres were reported, and Japanese islands Iwate and Hokkaido reported minor waves and injuries. After the initial waves hit the US west coast, the tsunami waves then reached French Polynesia and South America. Red alerts and evacuations were ordered due to the threat, however, the waves were smaller than what was feared initially.

Massive quake rocks Russia
Moscow: One of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded struck Russia's Far East on Wednesday, sending tsunami waves into Japan and Hawaii and across the Pacific. No substantial damage has been reported so far, but authorities warned people away from shorelines and said the risk could last more than a day. Ports on the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia near the 8.8 magnitude quake's epicenter flooded as residents fled inland, and frothy, white waves washed up to the shore in northern Japan. Cars jammed streets and highways in Hawaii's capital, with standstill traffic even in areas away from the shoreline. People went to evacuation centers in affected areas of Japan, with memories fresh of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that caused reactor meltdowns at a nuclear power plant. No abnormalities in operations at Japan's nuclear plants were reported Wednesday. Russian authorities said several people were injured, without giving a figure. In Japan, at least one person was injured. The quake at 8:25 am Japan time had a preliminary magnitude of 8.0, Japanese and US seismologists said. The US Geological Survey later updated its strength to 8.8 magnitude and a depth of 20.7 kilometers (13 miles). The quake was centered about 119 kilometers (74 miles) east-southeast from the Russian city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, which has a population of 180,000, on the Kamchatka Peninsula. Multiple aftershocks as strong as 6.9 magnitude followed. A tsunami height of 3-4 meters (10 to 13 feet) was recorded in Kamchatka, 60 centimeters (2 feet) on Japan's northern island of Hokkaido, and up to 1.4 feet (under 30 centimeters) above tide levels were observed in Alaska's Aleutian Islands. The impact of the tsunami could last for hours or perhaps more than a day, said Dave Snider, tsunami warning coordinator with the National Tsunami Warning Center in Alaska "A tsunami is not just one wave," he said. "It's a series of powerful waves over a long period of time. Tsunamis cross the ocean at hundreds of miles an hour -- as fast as a jet airplane -- in deep water. But when they get close to the shore, they slow down and start to pile up. And that's where that inundation problem becomes a little bit more possible there." "In this case, because of the Earth basically sending out these huge ripples of water across the ocean, they're going to be moving back and forth for quite a while," which is why some communities may feel effects longer, he said. Hawaii Gov Josh Green said data from Midway Atoll, which is between Japan and Hawaii, measured waves from peak to trough of 6 feet (1.8 meters). He said waves hitting Hawaii could be bigger or smaller and it was too early to tell how large they would be. A tsunami of that size would be akin to a 3-foot (90-centimeter) wave riding on top of surf, he said. "This is a longitudinal wave with great force driving through the shoreline and into land," he said at a news conference. Green said Black Hawk helicopters have been activated and high-water vehicles were ready to go in case authorities need to rescue people. "But please do not put yourself in harm's way," he said. The Oregon Department of Emergency Management said on Facebook that small tsunami waves were expected along the coast starting around 11:40 pm local time, with wave heights between 1 to 2 feet (30 to 60 centimeters). It urged people to stay away from beaches, harbors and marinas and to remain in a safe location away from the coast until the advisory is lifted. "This is not a major tsunami, but dangerous currents and strong waves may pose a risk to those near the water," the department said. Much of the West Coast, spanning California, Washington state, and the Canadian province of British Columbia, was also under a tsunami advisory. A tsunami of less than 30 centimeters (under 1 foot) was forecast to hit parts of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The province's emergency preparedness agency said waves were expected to reach remote Langara Island around 10:05 p.m. Tuesday and Tofino around 11:30 pm. The agency said "multiple waves over time" were expected.

Japan: Fukushima Nuke Plant Emptied Amid 1.9 Ft Tsunami
Powerful tsunami waves triggered by an 8.8-magnitude earthquake off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula hit the northern coast of Japan, forcing 2 million people to evacuate to higher ground. A video showed several foamy waves crashing relentlessly as sirens warned residents, recalling memories of the devastating 2011 Fukushima disaster. Japanese authorities responded swiftly by halting trains and ferries, closing ports, and activating evacuation centers amid heavy traffic jams. Though no major damage was reported to nuclear plants, over 4,000 workers sheltered as a precaution. The Japan Meteorological Agency downgraded some tsunami warnings to advisories but continues monitoring coastal areas in Hokkaido and the Tohoku region, where waves up to 60 cm were recorded.
