The tsunami alert level for Hawaii — issued after the magnitude 8.8 earthquake off Russia’s eastern coast — has been downgraded to an advisory, authorities said Wednesday.
“Pacific Tsunami Warning Center REDUCED the alert level for Hawaii to a TSUNAMI ADVISORY,” the Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency said on X.
“Unusually strong currents and waves still possible close to the shore and in harbors. Officials are assessing damage but have NOT reopened coastal evacuation areas. Stay clear of these areas,” it said.
