FIRST WARNING WEATHER: A tsunami is a series of large ocean waves caused by sudden movements under or near the sea-most often underwater earthquakes (like the recent 8.8 magnitude off Russia). Other causes include volcanic eruptions, landslides, or even meteor impacts.
When the ocean floor shifts suddenly, it displaces a huge amount of water, sending waves across the ocean at high speeds. These waves can grow massively in height as they reach the shore, causing severe flooding and damage.
⚠️ If you’re ever in a tsunami warning zone:
Move to higher ground immediately
Avoid the coast
Follow official alerts and evacuation orders
Stay safe. Stay aware.
