Russian authorities advised people to stay away from coastlines, though wave heights were expected to be low.
Hawaiians expressed relief online. One post read, “Tsunami watch canceled.
Relax and enjoy your Mai Tai.”
Others thanked God that no damage occurred.
This event stirred memories of the 1952
Kamchatka quake, when a 9.0 magnitude tremor
sent deadly waves to Hawaii, damaging property and taking lives.
Though no disaster unfolded, some warned the ocean might still be unsafe.
“Stay vigilant—the water can still be dangerous,”
one resident noted. The scare reminded many of Hawaii’s
ongoing vulnerability to distant quakes and ocean threats.
