BIGGEST EARTHQUAKE IN YEARS

The world's largest earthquake in 14 years, with a magnitude of 8.8, struck about 84 miles east-southeast of Kamchatska, off the coast of Russia. This significant seismic event occurred at approximately 7:24 PM EST and has triggered tsunami watches across Japan, Russia, and the entire west coast of America, raising concerns for millions of people in these regions.

Tsunami waves have already impacted Japan and Russia, while millions of residents in Hawaii, Guam, California, Washington, and Oregon are under various levels of tsunami warnings. This earthquake is the most powerful since the 2011 megaquake in northeast Japan, which had a magnitude of 9.1 and resulted in 19,747 people being dead or missing.
