According to the report, eyewitness footage captured the audio of tsunami warning sirens in Hokkaido on Wednesday after a powerful magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck off Russia's Far East. Tsunami alarms sounded in coastal towns across Japan's Pacific coast with authorities urging people to seek higher ground. Aerial views showed people taking shelter on top of the Iburitobu Fire Department in Mukawa town, near the coastline of Hokkaido in northern Japan, on Wednesday after the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) issued a tsunami warning following a magnitude 8.8 earthquake which struck off Russia's far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula. The JMA later upgraded its warning, saying it expected waves of up to 3 metres (10 feet) to reach large coastal areas starting around 0100 GMT. National broadcaster NHK said evacuation orders had been issued by the government across a large part of Japan's Pacific coast. Factory workers and residents in Hokkaido were evacuated to a hill overlooking the ocean, broadcaster TBS announced."Please evacuate quickly. If you can, move quickly to higher ground and away from the coast," a newscaster on Japanese public broadcaster NHK said. The Kamchatka Peninsula and Japan sit on the Pacific Ring of Fire, a geologically active region prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

God have Mercy on all the people in Japan, and so with the coasts of the Philippines that were issued a tsunami warning. I understand how they feel scared.
