omg, The young Seagoon's local beach is under tsunami alert, luckily they live on a hill about a km away and will be staying home, I know it seems a long way but they spend about an hour at the beach everyday

That earthquake off the coast of Kamchatka has set off so many tsunami warnings across the Pacific! 8.8 is big though.

NZ far away. They are saying the risk is strong currents and surges, but no evacuations needed as there are no land areas at risk. Just don’t go swimming or boating until the warning is lifted. Still scary though.
