💨 Abstract
An 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, triggering tsunami warnings across the Pacific. Hawaii and Japan prepared for possible impacts, with Hawaii's governor urging residents to move to higher ground. The earthquake, the most powerful since 2011, prompted warnings from tsunami coordinators. The article also highlights some of the most powerful earthquakes recorded, including the 1960 Valdivia earthquake in Chile and the 2004 Sumatra earthquake.
