Just heard on the lunchtime news that there are no reports of any deaths or serious injuries anywhere as a result of the Pacific tsunami.
Take a bow, emergency planners of the Pacific region.
With so much crappy news around at the moment, it's lovely to hear that sometimes, people do their job really well and lives get saved.

The #Tsunami proving Twitter is truly dead for breaking news, especially for disaster preparedness and relief.
No reliable source of information, everyone is a bluecheck grifter uploading old/fake videos for some cash.
Almost no boost to gov accounts across the globe dedicated to earthquakes, or mostly drowned under a tsunami of fakes.
What a total sh*tshow.

On X, Masaki Nobushiro posts a recurring (and useful) drawing about how people wrongly think a 1m tsunami is a cresting wave when it's actually a wall of water filled with dangerous and deadly debris that's strong enough to sweep up a car.
One of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded struck Russia's sparsely populated Far East on Wednesday, causing tsunami up to 4 meters across the Pacific and sparking evacuations as far away as Hawaii. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/30/asia-pacific/quake-russia-tsunami/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #tsunami #earthquakes #russia
