Russia struck the size of 8.8 earthquakes to send tsunami to the United States, Japan -National

One of the strongest Earthquakes It was ever recorded in the far east of Russia on Wednesday, sending tsunami to Japan, Hawaii and the West American coast. Many people were injured, but no significant damage has been reported yet.

The authorities have warned of the risks that a 8.8 earthquake may last for, and millions of people were informed at the path of waves at first to stay away from the beach or search for a high land. But it seems that the danger actually reduces, as Hawaii and parts of Japan reduced their warnings.

The residents escaped from the inside with the dumping of the ports Russia Kamchatka Peninsula is near the epicenter, while fake white waves were washed on the beach in northern Japan. Street jamming cars and highways in Honolulu, with parked traffic even in areas far from the sea.

People flocked to evacuation centers in the affected areas in Japan, with new memories of the 2011 and T and Tanami earthquake that caused the reactor collapses at a nuclear power plant. No deformities in the operations in Japanese nuclear plants were reported on Wednesday.

The Russian authorities said that many people were injured, but they all said in a stable condition, although they provided a few details. In Japan, at least one person was injured.

Tsunami was recorded from three to four meters (from 10 to 13 feet) in Kamchka, and 60 cm (two feet) on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, while the tsunami dies about 2 to five feet arrived in San Francisco early on Wednesday, officials said.

Most of the West Coast, which extends to California, Oregon, Washington State, and the Canadian province in British Columbia, was under the consultation of a tsunami.

Hawaii was still under the tsunami consulting at the start of Wednesday, but the evacuation orders on the big island and Oua, the most intense island, were raised.

The consultant means that there is a possibility of strong currents and dangerous waves, as well as floods on beaches or ports.

“As you return home, you still stay outside the beach and stay outside the water,” said James Barros, director of the Hawaiian Emergency Management Agency.

Dave Snyder, Tsunami Warning Coordinator with the National Tsunami Warning Center in Alaska, said the tsunami may last for hours or perhaps more than a day.

“Tsunami is not just one wave,” he said. “It is a series of strong waves over a long period of time. Tsunamis crosses the ocean hundreds of miles per hour – as quickly as a jet plane – in deep waters. But when they approach the beach, they slow down and start accumulating. This is where the problem of immersion becomes a little more than that there.”

Hawaiian Josh Green Governor said earlier that Black Hawk helicopters have been activated and that high -water vehicles are ready to go if the authorities need to save people.

The Ministry of Emergency Management in Oregon said on Facebook that small tsunami waves were expected along the coast. He urged people to stay away from beaches, ports, marines and stay in a safe location away from the coast until the consultant is raised.

The ministry said: “This is not a big tsunami, but the dangerous currents and strong waves may pose a threat to those near the water.”

Tsunami is expected to reach less than 30 cm (under one foot) to parts of Vancouver, British Columbia, and waves of up to 1.4 feet (under 30 cm) over the tide levels in the Alaska Islands.

The Institute of Ocean Science in Russia said that tsunami may have reached 10 to 15 meters (from 30 to 50 feet) in some sections of the Kamchatka coast.

In Petropavlovsk-kamchatsky, the regional capital of Kamchatka, the earthquake hurt a local sporting sport, which was not working at that time because it was renewed.

Oleg Milnikov, head of the regional health department, said that a few people harm themselves while they are speeding up to leave the buildings and a patient was injured in the hospital while jumping from the window. Melnikov said that all the injured were stable.

A video released by the Russian media showed a team of doctors at a cancer clinic in Kamchatka carrying a patient and holding medical equipment while the earthquake shook the operating room, before continuing the surgery after the shaking stopped.

The authorities presented a state of emergency on the populated Corels – which is between Kamchca and Japan – after a tsunami. They stated earlier that many waves flooded the fishing port in Severo Corielilsk, the main city of the islands, and cut power supplies to the area. The mayor of the port said that no major damage has been recorded.

The earthquake was hit at 8:25 am Japan time, with a size of 8.8 and a depth of about 21 km (13 miles), according to the American geological survey.

It focused on about 120 kilometers (75 miles) from the city of Petrovavovsk-Gampsky. Many strong shocks like size 6.9 follow.

The earthquake seemed to be the strongest recorded since the 9.0 -east earthquake in March 2011, which caused a huge tsunami that led to a collapse at a nuclear power plant. A few of the strongest earthquakes were measured all over the world.

Japanese nuclear power plants reported that there were no abnormalities. The operator of the Fukushima Dychi factory, which was affected by the 2011 tsunami, said that about 4,000 workers meet on a higher ground in the factory complex, with a distance monitoring to ensure safety.

Tsunami alert disrupted transportation in Japan, with phrases, trains and airports in the area affected by suspending or delaying some operations.

Tsunami was recorded of 60 centimeters (2 feet) in Hamanaka in Hokkaido and Morsi Koji in Iowat, according to the Japanese Meteorological Agency. Many areas have reported smaller waves, including 20 cm (8 inches) in Tokyo Bay, five hours after the earthquake.

The Japanese Meteorological Agency partially reduced a tsunami alert to consulting in the Pacific coast south of Fukushima, with alert in its place in the north.

In the northern town of Matsushima in Japan, dozens of residents resorted to an evacuation center, where the water bottles were distributed. One person told NHK that she came to the facility without hesitation based on the 2011 tsunami.

A great captain in Japan’s cabinet, Yoshimasa Hayaishi, warned against those who may not be able to return to their homes by the end of the day, as tsunami can remain high.

The authorities in the Philippines, Mexico and New Zealand also warned the population against surfing the waves and strong currents. People were also urged to move away from the coasts until any wave was passed in Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, the unified micronesia states and the Solomon Islands.

Earlier in July, five powerful earthquakes – the largest size of 7.4 – were struck at sea near Kamchka. It was the largest earthquake at a depth of 20 km and was 144 km (89 miles) east of the city of Petrovavlofsk-Kameshasky.
