The peninsula was hit by one of the strongest quakes ever recorded on Wednesday, with the tremors triggering tsunami warnings as far away as Hawaii, Chile and Japan.
“It felt like the walls could collapse any moment. The shaking lasted continuously for at least three minutes,” said Yaroslav, 25, in the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
The quake — the 6th most powerful ever recorded — damaged buildings and injured several people in the region.
“Today’s earthquake was serious and the strongest in decades of tremors,” Kamchatka Governor Vladimir Solodov said in a video posted on the Telegram messaging app.
The quake was the strongest to hit the Kamchatka Peninsula, home to just under 30,000 people, since 1952.
Much of Japan’s eastern seaboard, which was devastated by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami in 2011, was ordered to evacuate, as were parts of Hawaii.
