| Tsunami watch issued for Hawaii after M8 earthquake off Russia |
| 2025-07-30 |
[HawaiiNewsNow] A tsunami watch is issued for the state of Hawaii following a magnitude-8.0 earthquake off Russia. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center says the earthquake struck at 1:25 p.m. HST off the east coast of Kamchatka. A tsunami watch was issued at 1:33 p.m. HST. Based on all available data, a tsunami may have been generated that could be destructive on coastal areas even far from the epicenter. An investigation is underway to determine if there is a tsunami threat to Hawaii. If tsunami waves impact Hawaii, the estimated earliest arrival of the first wave is 7:17 p.m. HST. |

| #6 You can wake me up for 8.0. That's quite a jolt. I'm just glad the tsunami fizzled before it got to SoCal. |

| #5 This event is underperforming. Some 3-4 foot waves on north coast of some Hawaiian Islands and 1-3 foot waves on north California coast. Winter storms produce waves much higher than that. |

| #2 ....Said tsunami may have clocked the Russian Navy's PacFleet sub base at Kamchatka - no apparent sub losses, but the base took a punch and may be unusable. https://x.com/TrentTelenko/status/1950363362648355199 Mike |
