A 7.5-magnitude earthquake hit Hawaii on Saturday night, causing a lot of damage.
A big shock happened because of an earthquake off the shore of Kamchatka, Russia.
The quake hit Hawaii, which is in the Pacific Ocean with Russia, at 8:49 p.m. local time. At 9:03 p.m., a tsunami watch was put out.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center concluded there was no danger to the state, thus the tsunami watch was turned off.
The group also said, “There is no tsunami threat to the state of Hawai‘i based on all the data we have.”
“This will be the last message sent about this event unless we get more information.”
Scientists looked at the early seismic data from the earthquake to see if it triggered a wave and decided to put off the tsunami warning.
A lot of other people used social media to tell how glad they were when the tsunami watch was knocked off.

Someone else wrote, “Thank God, Amen.”
Someone another said, “Hallelujah, it’s over.”
An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.3 hit Kamchatka, which located on Russia’s east coast.
The U.S. Tsunami Warning System claimed that the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia sent out the first tsunami warning.
The Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations urged those who lived near the tremor that they should “under no circumstances” go to the shore to watch the tsunami that was forecast.
People were also advised by the Ministry that “the waves that may reach the coast are not very high.”
The USGS claims that in the hour after the alarm, there were several tremors off the coast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia.
A huge earthquake off the shore of Kamchatka, Russia, caused the huge tremor. After then, a tsunami watch was put out.
The USGS reports the initial quake had a magnitude of 7.0, the second had a magnitude of 6.7, and there were numerous more with magnitudes of 7.4, 6.7, and 6.6.
After that, there were a couple smaller earthquakes in the same place.
A video revealed the moment one of the shakes hit Russia. People were yelling in the background, and the inside of the home rocked.
A powerful 9-magnitude earthquake hit Kamchatka in November 1952. It created a tsunami that swept across the Pacific and reached Hawaii.
Because of this, the severe waves broke boats, tore down piers, and knocked down power lines.
A large 12-foot tsunami also destroyed a little bridge that connected Cocoanut Island to Hilo Bay.
In November 1952, a huge 9.0-magnitude earthquake shook Kamchatka (see photo), causing a tsunami that traveled across the Pacific and reached Hawaii.
Even when the tsunami watch was called off, people on social media told towns to stay alert because “the surge continues.”
One resident said, “Just so you know.” “I’ve seen a lot of watches and warnings.” The surge is still going on.
“I’ve seen a number of folks get dragged out to sea due of this. Be careful. Don’t be stupid and think you’re invincible while you’re picking ‘opihi or diving right now.
Limpets, also known as “opihi,” are snails that live on the beaches of Hawaii. People who live there are known to eat the sea animals.
