Coastal areas of Hawai‘i are under evacuation orders and the entire U.S. west coast is under a tsunami advisory after an estimated 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck off Russia’s far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula on Tuesday.

A tsunami warning was issued from Cape Mendocino, north of San Francisco, to the Oregon-California border late Tuesday. The U.S. National Weather Service also issued a tsunami advisory for the entire West Coast of the U.S. on Tuesday night.

The quake, which U.S. Geological Survey data shows is one of the biggest ever recorded, caused a tsunami that “flooded” parts of a port city, Russian officials reported.

announced it will close its doors after a final celebration on New Year’s Eve, 2025. Club leadership cited rising costs and a post-pandemic drop in attendance, saying the club had been operating at a loss for some time.

“This has been the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make, but also one filled with hope for what comes next,” said Oasis owner and drag performer D’Arcy Drollinger.

WHAT’S NEXT: Shows will continue through 2025 and the club’s non-profit arm will focus on staging performances at other venues across the Bay Area in 2026.
