00:00Another monster quake just rocked Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, and it's no small shake.
00:05Less than two months after a colossal 8.8-magnitude earthquake shook Kamchatka,
00:10a powerful 7.8 aftershock has hit the same region.
00:13It struck early on September 19th, raising fresh fears of a tsunami racing across the Pacific.
00:19Tsunami waves were detected near the epicenter.
00:22But there's relief. By 5 p.m. Eastern Time, Hawaii was given the all-clear.
00:27No giant waves heading that way.
00:29To put it in perspective, the earlier July quake released over 30 times more energy than this aftershock.
00:35Still, a 7.8 magnitude isn't minor.
00:38This was the strongest aftershock yet, confirmed by the U.S. Geological Survey.
00:43Both quakes hit along the Kuril-Kamchatka Plate boundary, one of the most dangerous fault lines on Earth.
00:49Here, the Pacific Plate is diving beneath the North American Plate.
00:53That means quakes like these are not rare, but always alarming.
00:57Thankfully, no damage has been reported yet.
00:59And the tsunami risk?
01:01For now, it's fading.
01:02But if you live near tsunami zones like Hawaii or the U.S. West Coast, stay alert.
01:07Nature moves fast and without warning.
01:09Nature moves quickly, 아 Absence.
01:10Maybe you'll have kind of a new hypothesis.
01:14It'll be noticed bylere to the threateningimizi of the U.S. West Coast.
01:19But let's see what happens in the U.S. West Coast.
01:21So again, an statue of the U.S. West Coast right of the U.S. West Coast.
01:23Are the coming home injuries, when my grief'srien towards the U.S. West Coast to the U.S. West Coast and Data.
01:28But also, an statue of the U.S. West Coast.
01:29Perfect.
01:30So it gets you Jupimpression, ooh.
01:31Our foundation's definitely been establishedá禅ός illness.
01:32I mean, an ChooseATs.
01:32The following year will get involved in everything.
01:33So it has gone from the U.S. West Coast, a 7, which means an lemon.
01:34So it's happened to be revised through it in 2022 último Earth.
