\nAccording to the U.S. Coast Guard, there were no injuries reported, but dangerous currents are still expected in harbors and nearshore areas. Boaters are urged to use caution, and beachgoers should remain alert throughout the evening.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udd0d What Triggered It?
\nThe tsunami was caused by a massive 8.8 earthquake in the Pacific Ocean, about 80 miles off the Kamchatka coast in Russia. The quake triggered tsunami warnings across the Pacific, including Hawaii, Japan, and the U.S. West Coast.<\/p>\n
