A powerful undersea earthquake near Alaska triggers a
tsunami alert
, sending shockwaves through coastal communities.
Tsunami waves as high as
20+ feet
were recorded in remote areas — with the force to uproot anything in their path.
Coastal towns like
Kodiak, Anchorage, and Seward
were on high alert as emergency sirens blared through the night.
The
NOAA and USGS
issued rapid alerts urging evacuations, triggering sirens, and deploying early response systems.
Residents raced to higher ground, grabbing essentials as
tsunami evacuation routes
came into effect.
Surreal scenes of rising waters, boats tossed like toys, and flooded streets took over
Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube
.
Shockwaves and water surges reached parts of
Hawaii, British Columbia
, and even triggered global monitoring.
Experts say a
mega-thrust fault line
deep under the sea was the main source raising concerns about future risks.
