Earthquake

One of this century’s most powerful earthquakes struck off the coast of Russia and generated tsunami warnings and advisories for a broad section of the Pacific as far south as New Zealand. Now warnings are being downgraded in most areas, though advisories remain in place as more aftershocks are possible.
