Video of Earthquake in Russia

[Steve Williams]

Living in California always brings the risk of earthquakes and I’ve been in some big ones BUT today’s off the coast of Russia makes anything I’ve felt seem miniscule

Initially rated as 8.0 but now at 8.8

This is serious. I’m reading Japan just got hit

Watch the video. It lasts longer than any I’ve been in

a simple explanation of how quickly these form and how fast they can move

Looks like this earthquake took some time to settle down; it's more than a minute on the video.

Earthquake that triggered tsunamis across Pacific tied for 6th strongest on record​

The earthquake off the coast of Russia is tied for the sixth strongest ever recorded.
Tsunami waves have been recorded in America's 50th state, starting around 2:00 a.m. ET Wednesday -- it took around 6 hours for them to travel from the earthquake epicenter to the Hawaiian Islands, and they are expected to wane gradually later in the day.
The highest waves so far include 5.7 feet in Kahului, Hawaii, 4.9 feet in Hilo, Hawaii, 4 feet in Haleiwa, Hawaii, and 3 feet in Hanalei, Hawaii.
Tsunami waves were recorded along the nation's West Coast at about 3:50 a.m. ET today. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center only expects minor impacts for the Southern California and Washington Coasts, placing the region under a Tsunami Advisory.
The exception to this will be the Northern California Coast and Southern Oregon Coast, specifically around and near Crescent City, Calif. This region could see waves as high as 4-5 feet, which has prompted a Tsunami Warning. These waves are forecast to wane later today,
