On July 29, 2025, former President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social about a massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, triggering tsunami warnings for Hawaii, a tsunami watch for Alaska and the U.S. Pacific Coast, and advisories for Japan and other Pacific regions.
His post accurately noted the ongoing tsunami threat, with Hawaii facing 4-6 foot waves, Japan evacuating over 1.9 million people due to potential 3-meter waves, and Russia’s Kuril Islands experiencing flooding.
Trump directed followers to tsunami.gov for updates, aligning with reports from the National Tsunami Warning Center, and urged people to stay safe, reflecting the widespread concern shared across X and global news.
