Due to the 8.7 earthquake in Kamchatka, Russia, the National Tsunami Warning Center has issued a Tsunami Advisory that includes San Francisco. A Tsunami Advisory means strong, dangerous currents are expected to impact San Francisco beaches, harbor and marina docks, and finger piers in shoreline areas. Dangerous currents are expected to begin at 12:40am tonight (7/30) and may last for many hours. San Francisco's public safety agencies are working together to evaluate whether the evacuation of shoreline areas is necessary, and will send out additional alerts as soon as possible. For guidance and the tsunami hazard map, visit sf.gov/tsunami.

โ€œIt was 110 years ago that the spirit of ANZAC was born. Aboard the USS Hornet @HornetMuseum we gathered to honour the sacrifice and legacy of AUS and NZ soldiers who have served and continue to serve. Lest we forget.โ€ #anzacday #AnzacDay2025 #LestWeForget

110 years ago, Australian and New Zealand soldiers formed part of the Allied expedition that set out to capture the Gallipoli peninsula. They became known as Anzacs. Today, we remember them, and all those who have served Australia in times of peace and war. #LestWeForget #ANZAC
