See photos and videos following Russian earthquake, tsunami warnings
The powerful earthquake hit at 7:24 p.m. ET, about 78 miles east-southeast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said.
Tsunami alerts were triggered in Alaska, Hawaii, and California. In Hawaii, the tsunami warnings shifted to an advisory, and officials lifted evacuation orders. Much of coastal California was under a tsunami advisory, but areas like Crescent City remained under a tsunami warning early on July 30.
"While most of the coast has started to see activity slowly subside, Crescent City has remained resilient with rapid swings in water level of over 3 feet," the weather service in Eureka posted on X. "Remain cautious of dangerous currents through the day today!"
Tsunami waves also arrived in Washington State. Weather officials said "strong and unusual" currents were likely, but coastal inundation was not expected. As of 5:45 local time in Alaska, the tsunami advisory is still in effect for the state's Aleutian Islands and the Alaska Peninsula along an over 1,000-mile stretch from Attu Island to Chignik Bay.
Here's a look at how the U.S. and other parts of the world reacted to the tsunami alerts triggered by the Russian earthquake.

Tropical Storm Ivo could become hurricane Aug. 8: See path tracker, forecast
Forecasters expect Pacific storm Ivo to "start moving away from the coast of Mexico over the next day or so." As the Atlantic hurricane season enters its most significant months, forecasters are also watching two tropical storms form in the Pacific. Located about 385 miles southeast of the southern tip of Baja California, Mexico, Tropical Storm Ivo was moving northwest at 21 mph with maximum sustained winds near 60 mph and higher gusts, the National Hurricane Center said in an advisory on Thursday, Aug. 7. The center said it expects Ivo to "start moving away from the coast of Mexico over the next day or so." By the weekend, forecasters expect the storm to turn more westward, away from Mexico. Ivo will likely bring rainfall of 2 to 4 inches with some isolated totals of 6 inches across parts of the Mexican states of Guerrero, Michoacan de Ocampo and Colima through Friday, NHC forecasters said. The system may also produce swells likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions over the next few days. Tropical Storm Henriette, located about 1,195 miles east of Hilo, Hawaii, was moving west with maximum sustained winds near 45 mph with higher gusts, the center reported. NHC forecasters expect the storm to keep heading west through Thursday, Aug. 7 before turning northwest on Friday and over the weekend. The center of the storm is expected to stay well to the north of the Hawaiian Islands. No coastal watches or warnings regarding Henriette are in effect Thursday, Aug. 7 with little change in strength expected through the next few days. Pacific Ocean storm tracker Dexter expected to strengthen in the Atlantic In the north Atlantic Ocean, post-tropical cyclone Dexter was still producing tropical storm-force winds while it was located about 390 miles south-southeast of Cape Race, Newfoundland, Canada, according to the NHC. The storm had maximum sustained winds near 60 mph with higher gusts, as of Thursday afternoon, Aug. 7. The storm is expected to strengthen later Thursday through Friday, Aug. 8 before weakening Friday night into Saturday, Aug. 9. There are no threats to land stemming from the storm.

Feds take steps to fill vacancies at the National Weather Service
Weather Service will hire 450 people, but experts say it won't help fill critical vacancies during current hurricane and wildfire season. The National Weather Service has taken steps to begin filling some of the more than 550 positions left vacant by federal cutbacks and early retirements since Inauguration Day. Earlier in the summer, the agency received an emergency hiring exemption to fill 126 of its vacant positions and has begun to post those jobs on But in an all-hands meeting on Aug. 4, weather service employees learned the agency has since received permission to hire a total of 450 people by September 2026, said two long-time weather service veterans who retired earlier this year. The mass exodus of workers this winter and spring, as the Trump administration aimed to shrink the federal budget and bureaucracy, prompted widespread concern across the weather service staff, many members of Congress and the broader weather forecasting community. Vacancy rates were as high as 40% in some weather service offices, USA TODAY previously reported. Several weather service forecast offices began closing overnight because they could no longer staff the typical 24/7 operations and weather balloon launches to gather critical data were interrupted. While the new hires are "good news," it doesn't mean clear sailing for the beleaguered agency in the months ahead, given the complicated federal hiring process and the need to train new employees, said Brian LaMarre, who retired earlier this year as meteorologist-in-charge of the weather service office in Ruskin/Tampa, Florida, after more than 30 years with the agency. "That still doesn't backfill to what the agency was on January 1, but it's a good step," LaMarre said, noting it will take months to fill posts now vacant and those created by promotions. In an email to USA TODAY, the agency declined to comment, confirm or deny the information that emerged from its employee meeting Aug. 4. In that meeting, employees were told the meteorologist, hydrologist and electronics technician positions have all been exempted from an ongoing federal hiring freeze, said Alan Gerard, another 30-plus year veteran meteorologist who retired earlier this year. Gerard now writes the "Balanced Weather" blog on Substack. In July, President Donald Trump extended that freeze through Oct. 15. Mass job cuts hit NOAA, the agency that oversees hurricane center and weather service The agency also has been given direct hiring authority, a step that typically allows federal agencies slightly more flexibility with the federal hiring rules, Gerard said. Hiring new people to fill critical positions is "good news, but it's not going to help in any concrete way for many months," he said. Considering the time it takes to hire and train new people, these steps "aren't going to help for this hurricane and wildfire season." The weather service isn't just meteorologists So far, the first positions to be advertised are for electronics technician openings, which were among the 126 "critical vacancies." That's especially good news, LaMarre said. The importance of the technicians was overlooked in the initial flurry of reports about the terminations of probationary employees and the consternation over the massive departures at the weather service, he said. The technicians are responsible for maintaining and repairing the all-important radar systems and other equipment used to make forecasts, he said, not only at the weather service forecast offices but also at airports where the weather service has agreements with the Federal Aviation Administration to maintain radar equipment. "These are critical operations pieces," he said. "The publicity is often on the meteorologists, but the technicians are the foundation of what's done." LaMarre said it's also good news that hydrologists will be among those hired. It could allow the agency to follow through on a plan to place hydrologists in state emergency operations centers, to assist in forecasting flood events. They'd already done that in Virigina and were about to do it in Texas, he said.

Russia earthquake: Magnitude 8.8 megaquake hits Kamchatka, generating tsunamis across the Pacific
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Tsunami warnings have been issued in regions across the Pacific, including Hawaii, Alaska, Russia and Japan, following a magnitude 8.8 "megaquake" — the joint-sixth largest ever recorded — that hit off Russia's Far Eastern Kamchatka Peninsula at 11:25 a.m. local time (18:25 p.m. EST) on Wednesday morning (July 30), according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Tsunami waves could reach higher than 10 feet (3 meters) above tide level along the coasts of Hawaii, Ecuador and Russia, according to a warning issued by the U.S. National Tsunami Warning Center at 11:07 p.m. EST on July 29. The first waves reached Hawaii, with a 4 foot (1.2 m) wall of water recorded by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) off the coast of Oahu, the BBC reports. "A tsunami has been generated that could cause damage along coastlines of all islands in the state of Hawaii," the PTWC said in a bulletin. "Urgent action should be taken to protect lives and property." Honolulu's mayor Rick Blangiardi warned residents to move to higher ground and Hawaii's governor, Josh Green, urged people to immediately evacuate coastal regions. In a news conference reported by CNN, Green said "it will not hit one beach, it will wrap around the islands." In Japan, officials have told more than 1.9 million people to evacuate as waves measuring over 4 feet (1.2 m) hit the country's north and east coasts, CNN reports. Footage of tsunami waves hitting the Russian coastal town of Severo-Kurilsk in Kamchatka, shows water flooding buildings on the port. In North America, tsunami advisories are also in place along the coasts of California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. Waves measuring between 3 and 10 feet (1 to 3 m) are also possible along the coasts of Chile, Costa Rica, French Polynesia, Japan, Jarvis Island, Johnston Atoll, Kiribati, Midway Island, Palmyra Island, Peru, Samoa and the Solomon Islands, according to the PTWC. The epicenter of the earthquake was recorded roughly 74 miles (119 kilometers) southeast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, on the Kamchatka Peninsula, according to the USGS. As of midnight EST, 24 powerful aftershocks reaching magnitudes of over 5.0 were reported in Russia, with two hitting magnitudes of 6.9 and 6.3, respectively. The Kamchatka earthquake is considered a megaquake as its magnitude is above 8. The Kamchatka Peninsula is a sparsely populated region located within the Pacific Ring of Fire, a horseshoe-shaped belt of volcanoes known for their explosive volcanic eruptions and intense earthquakes. The ring runs from southern Chile, up the west coast of the Americas, through the islands off Alaska and far eastern Russia and down through Japan and the Philippines. RELATED STORIES —First video of an earthquake fault cracking has revealed another surprise —Almost half of California's faults — including San Andreas — are overdue for earthquakes —'This is a very big earthquake': The science behind Myanmar's magnitude 7.7 earthquake The volcanoes here arise due to tectonic plates involved in a process called subduction. This movement lowers the melting point of rocks in Earth's mantle, creating pockets of magma that rise to the surface. "What's special about the Ring of Fire is that multiple oceanic plates in the Pacific have subduction boundaries there," Loÿc Vanderkluysen, a volcanologist at Drexel University in Philadelphia, previously told Live Science. Indeed, it's estimated that 90% of the 34,000 miles (55,000 km) of subduction plate boundaries on Earth are found in the Pacific. Tectonic movements also trigger earthquakes as the plates squeeze past each other. "There's lots of kicking and screaming as the plates grind against one another," Jeffrey Karson, a professor emeritus of tectonics at Syracuse University in New York, previously told Live Science. "And so that's where the biggest earthquakes on our planet take place." Due to all this activity, the Ring of Fire is home to about 75% of Earth's active volcanoes and reports 90% of all measured earthquakes. Indeed, the five largest earthquakes ever recorded have all taken place within this region: 1. Valdivia Earthquake, Chile: magnitude 9.5, 1960 2. Great Alaska Earthquake, U.S.: magnitude 9.2, 1964 3. Sumatra-Andaman Islands Earthquake: magnitude 9.1, 2004 4. Tohoku Earthquake, Japan: magnitude 9.1, 2011 5. Kamchatka Earthquake, Russia: magnitude 9.0, 1952 This latest earthquake comes in joint-sixth place with Chile's Maule Earthquake in 2010 and the Ecuador-Colombia Earthquake in 1906, all with a magnitude 8.8.
