BREAKING: And I mean wow this is huge by Earthquake standards. The quake was prelim. an 8.0 but upgraded now to a massive 8.8 magnitude. This struck minutes ago off the east coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. This was a pretty shallow quake with depth of 19km (only 11 miles down). Tsunami Alerts are now active for all of Hawaii and the Alaskan Islands. A quake of this extreme intensity and shallowness can often, but not always pose major tsunami risks. Tsunami alerts are expanding immediately around the Pacific Rim. TSUNAMI WAVES exceeding 3 meters (10 feet) above normal tide levels are now possible along portions of the northwestern Hawaiian Islands and coastal areas of Russia. This is the strongest earthquake on Earth since the M9.1 in Tohoku, Japan on March 11, 2011. This is a significant global event now. If the magnitude holds, it would rank top 10 globally since 1900. Also for those of you in the Mid-south of the USA, no there is no risk or connection to this triggering or impacting the New Madrid Fault Zone.
