A tsunami warning has been issued for California's North Coast following an 8.8 magnitude earthquake off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, with potential waves reaching Crescent City and other parts of California, Hawaii, Guam, and Alaska. Residents are urged to evacuate coastal areas as waves of up to 4.8 feet are predicted, and the tsunami could last for hours. The alert was upgraded from a watch to a warning after initial warnings, with officials emphasizing the danger of even small waves.
