Double Disaster Rocks Pacific: 8.8 Earthquake Triggers Tsunami, Followed by Russian Volcano Eruption 🌊🌋

Chaos erupted across the Pacific on Wednesday after a massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck near Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, unleashing powerful tsunami waves and sparking the eruption of the Klyuchevskoy volcano — one of the world’s most active. Lava poured down its western slope, glowing explosions lighting up the sky, as confirmed by Russia’s Geophysical Service.

Tsunami waves as high as 13 feet hit Kamchatka and northern Japan, while 5-foot surges reached San Francisco, prompting widespread evacuation orders from Hawaii to British Columbia. Traffic jams clogged highways in Honolulu as coastal cities braced for impact.

Though no fatalities have been confirmed, damage was reported across remote regions. The tsunami threat is slowly easing, but experts warn that multiple waves could still cause damage for hours or longer.

Japan’s nuclear plants showed no abnormalities, despite chilling reminders of the 2011 disaster. Meanwhile, Chile issued the highest-level tsunami warning, triggering mass evacuations across its coast.

Aftershocks continue to rattle Kamchatka, though stronger quakes are not expected soon, officials say.
