A tsunami watch (now a warning) was issued for Hawaii on Tuesday after an 8.0 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Russia, according to officials.

An advisory was also issued for Alaska and Japan's Pacific Coast regions of Hokkaido to Kyushu.

The earthquake occurred off the east coast of Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Every DART buoy in the north pacific is in event mode.

That red spike on the right edge of the water column height graph is the event.

Coastal Alaska could be in for a rough ride.

Warning issued for HI now.

Also: A 6.9 aftershock.....Damn big aftershock.

The Russkies have nukes there.

Just for comparison, the 9.1 quake off the west coast Sumatra on December 26, 2004 produced those deadly tsunamis, killing over 200,000 in 14 countries.

The 2011 Tohoku earthquake was similar, 9.0-9.1, and had its own deadly tsunami.

8.7 is very serious.

According to my search, tsunamis do not dissipate in energy over distance until they reach shallower waters. At that point, they increase in height.

No big waves, thankfully...

Waves of up to 4 feet were recorded off of Oahu, with no large waves reported near the Big Island.

For those of us who follow Weather Geo Engineering , we know that Earthquakes can be created from Electro Magnetic Force Feld manipulation . Same for Volcanoes

It tickles my fancy to imagine that the Russians have created this earthquake as a warning to interested parties to be very careful how they treat the otherwise hospitable Russian people ---- or , else .

It looks as though there will be little resultant damage measured in deaths .
What if miraculous good fortune was entirely something different ?
Much better than Nuclear warfare with its radiation nuisance effects !!

A manipulated quake in California or Yellowstone would be interesting if the Russians "knew" they were a decade ahead of the "competition" .
And for obvious reasons they remained 100% silent about its cause .

As part of the West's newest sanctions package, Russia was hit with a massive 8.8 earthquake. This was a wildely successful beta test of the Jewish Space Laser's Version 2.0 software upgrade.

2.1 will resolve what is being called "The Overkill Bug".
