A powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake hit off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula early on Wednesday and has triggered tsunami warnings across the Pacific, with the first waves hitting Hawaii.
Tsunami waves were also felt in Russia and Japan, where evacuations have taken place, and Alaska. Warnings have been issued for North and Central America and Pacific islands south toward New Zealand.
We would like to hear from residents, workers and tourists who have been affected by the tsunami or the earthquake. Have you evacuated?
