An intensity earthquake 8.8 has shaken the Kamchatka Peninsula (Russia) and has caused other countries of the Pacific Ocean such as Japan or Guam, as well as regions of the United States such as Alaska or Hawaii have activated the alerts in the face of the possible condition to their territories. In fact, Hawinian authorities have already warned of the arrivals of the waves.
Luckily, for the moment, fatalities have not regretted, although they are not ruled out, and multiple material damage have been recorded. However, these meteorological phenomena always leave images for posterity that we will try to collect in this piece.
This has lived the earthquake on the coast of Russia
These were the images that have been taken from the town of Severo-Kurilsk, located in the Sakhalin region, one of the most oriental of the Slavic country. In them you can see how water ends everything that seems to be a port, which is at the mercy of the waves and in which the goods go from one side to the other without control.
The residents of the affected areas of Russia and Japan soon react
Something that could worry anyone is how to act in an earthquake that flows on a tsunami. In these images you can see how the first thing these Russian citizens do is get out of their homes and notify their countrymen to do the same and avoid collapse problems. Along the same lines, Japanese citizens go up to high areas of their city to overcome the waves that sweep everything.
The earthquake was also felt in Japan
The tremors were also felt on the Japanese island, which has a high history, which have allowed the population to adopt very effectively effectively and safely, as well as develop structures that do not collapse easily. One of these actions to climb to the surface of the buildings so that in case of tsunami, as this is, avoid being dragged by the current.
Animals have been affected
One of the aspects that is increasingly taken into account when these phenomena are produced is the animal response to them. In fact, it is known that animals are able to detect these situations before humans. However, some of them, for example the sailors, can be affected by devastating the current that follow, being able to become stranded.
Alerts in Fukushima
On March 11, 2011, Japan registered the largest earthquake in its history, one of 9.0 intensity on the Richter scale, which triggered one of the most dangerous climatic disasters of recent times. Due to the waves that beat and broke into the Fukushima nuclear power plant, the reactor cooling systems failed, which caused there to be radioactive leaks and hydrogen explosions. That is why in this type of situations all eyes become in that direction.
The importance of good structures
A country in which many earthquakes are registered due to its situation on tectonic plates has to develop the mechanisms to affect it as little as possible. From what is seen in the images, Russia’s buildings have good foundations and materials certainly malleable that allow them to endure the onslaught.
Nothing can be compared and confront the waves
How could it be otherwise, in phenomena of this type that end up in Tsunami, one of the most striking things is to see the size and density of the waves from a safe position and taking into account that the recoil is almost more dangerous than when they break, due to the ability to drag.
