Latest 8.8 magnitude earthquake: Russian volcano erupts, tsunami hits California

A massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck off Russia’s Pacific coast, triggering tsunami warnings and evacuations along the Hawaiian coast, and alerts were also issued along the U.S. West Coast.

The powerful earthquake, which struck about 85 miles off the east coast of Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, is one of the strongest ever recorded and the largest in the world since 2011 .

An 8.7 magnitude earthquake struck near Russia, triggering tsunami warnings for the West Coast, Alaska and Hawaii.

American influence

In the United States, the initial tsunami waves crashed onto the Hawaiian island of Oahu, forcing people to evacuate.

Authorities urged residents to leave beaches and low-lying areas for higher ground and to take shelter on at least the fourth floor of buildings. As part of a statewide warning system, sirens will sound every 10 minutes across the Hawaiian Islands for three hours before the projected impact.

Hawaii Governor Josh Green told reporters earlier Wednesday that the state “has not seen any serious consequences” and called it “a huge relief.”

Tsunami warnings were also issued for other parts of the U.S. Pacific – coastal areas of Alaska, Oregon, Washington and California – but those have now been lifted.

Tsunami waves were recorded overnight in Monterey and San Francisco, California, but did not cause serious problems.

In California, tsunami warnings were issued for Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, as well as Los Angeles and Ventura counties.

Tsunami warnings were also issued for the U.S. territories of Guam and American Samoa, but have since been lifted.

Crescent City, located on the border of California and Oregon, has since lifted all tsunami warnings. It was the last area in the United States to do so on Wednesday morning. Local officials said waves peaked at about 3.5 feet (10 meters) high, and no casualties have been reported so far.

The earthquake also affected travel; Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines resumed flights Wednesday morning after suspending them due to tsunami warnings.

In Russia, a camera captured the eruption of Klyuchevskaya Sopka, the region’s highest peak, with hot lava flowing down its western slopes.

The earthquake triggered a tsunami warning across northern Japan, forcing the evacuation of more than 2 million people.

Japan’s Meteorological Agency warned that a tsunami of about 3 feet high was expected to hit Hokkaido. The agency later lowered the tsunami alert level to a lower level, but said people still needed to remain vigilant.

Elsewhere in the Pacific, French Polynesia, Samoa, the Solomon Islands, Fiji, the Marshall Islands, Kiribati, New Caledonia, the Cook Islands, Nauru, Australia and the Philippines issued varying levels of tsunami warnings, as well as advisories predicting strong currents and possible flooding, but these have now expired.

In Central and South America, tsunami warnings or alerts were issued for Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Colombia.

Kamala Harris says she won’t run for governor of California in 2026

Former Vice President Kamala Harris will not run for California governor in 2026, after months of considering the prospect of being the chief executive of her home state.

“In recent months, I have given serious thought to asking the people of California for the privilege to serve as their Governor. I love this state, its people, and its promise. It is my home. But after deep reflection, I’ve decided that I will not run for Governor in this election,” she said in a statement released Wednesday.

The decision could give Harris greater leeway for a presidential run in 2028, an option she has yet to rule out. Harris said she would share “more details in the months ahead” about her plans.

“I have extraordinary admiration and respect for those who dedicate their lives to public service—service to their communities and to our nation. At the same time, we must recognize that our politics, our government, and our institutions have too often failed the American people, culminating in this moment of crisis,” Harris said. “As we look ahead, we must be willing to pursue change through new methods and fresh thinking — committed to our same values and principles, but not bound by the same playbook.”

Harris announced this decision after months of reflecting how to best contribute to the Democratic Party after her presidential election loss, she said.

“I am a devout public servant, and from the earliest days of my career, I have believed that the best way I could make a difference in people’s lives and fight for a better future was to improve the system from within. And it has been a profound honor to do that work and serve the people of California and our nation — as a prosecutor, Attorney General, United States Senator, and Vice President,” said Harris.

Over the past several months Harris has waded back into politics, appearing virtually at a young voters summit earlier this month and an abortion rights advocacy group in June. Her joint fundraising committee with the Democratic National Committee, the Harris Victory Fund, has begun fundraising on behalf of former North Carolina Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s new Senate bid as well.

Harris said despite not running for governor, she was finding other ways to “remain in that fight” for “freedom, opportunity, fairness, and the dignity of all.”

“I look forward to getting back out and listening to the American people, helping elect Democrats across the nation who will fight fearlessly, and sharing more details in the months ahead about my own plans,” Harris said.
