A tsunami warning has been issued for parts of California and Oregon, meaning residents are urged to move away from the coast or to high ground. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s alert system issued the warning about 11:20 p.

As the tsunami threat subsides across the Pacific, this is where warnings and evacuation orders have been officially lifted.

After a massive earthquake struck Russia, tsunami alerts were issued for many areas, including Japan, Hawaii and California, the latter of which is nearly 5,000 miles away.
