Waves Hit Japan and Hawaii

Significant tsunami waves have been recorded in multiple locations. In northeastern Japan, a wave measuring 1.3 meters (4.3 feet) was observed at Kuji Port, with authorities warning that wave heights were continuing to grow. The situation is even more serious in Hawaii, where a wave over five feet was reported in Kahului on the island of Maui. The US Navy has secured ports and is assisting with evacuations along the state's coastlines. In a notable act of support, media mogul Oprah Winfrey opened her private road in Maui to help residents flee to safer ground.

First Impact on California

The tsunami's reach has now extended to the US mainland. The first effects have been observed in California, where an initial wave of over one foot has been recorded. The full impact along the West Coast is still being assessed as authorities continue to monitor the situation closely. The widespread alerts and evacuations highlight the immense power of the initial quake and the extensive, real-time effort to mitigate its dangerous aftermath across the Pacific.
