Earthquake Goes Big: Russia Throws Pacific a Shaky Party
In a seismic flex worthy of the 'Pacific Ring of Fire,' an 8.8-magnitude earthquake off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula decided to drop tsunami waves like surprise Uber rides all over the Pacific. Japan caught 2-foot waves, California saw foot-plus surges, and Hawai'i got a 6-foot splash. Russia’s flooding port city apparently said, 'Hold my vodka!' while locals evacuated kindergarten classrooms—a rare field trip that's definitely unplanned. The USGS reminded everyone waves travel at commercial airplane speeds, proving nature’s still got better flight deals than you. ‘STAY STRONG AND STAY SAFE!’ Trump tweeted, showing even ex-presidents get tectonic FOMO.
