A Scare for Alyssa Chia in Hawaii After Receiving Tsunami Warning: Urges for Safety Amid Emergency Evacuation

Alyssa Chia’s Hawaiian fright! On the 30th, an 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck the offshore area east of the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, putting both Alaska and Hawaii in the tsunami threat zone. Alyssa Chia was in Waikiki, Honolulu. She said she was supposed to play ball but it turned into an evacuation. Just after arriving at the court, she received the alert, all global venues were closed and people evacuated. She and her friends waited two hours before they could call a car to leave. Things are tense now, she hopes everything will be safe.

Alyssa Chia posted about the tsunami warning on her IG Stories. Her friend told her this was the first time experiencing something like this. All shops in Waikiki were closed, and her friend’s child took the opportunity to explain the distance between Russia and Hawaii. Alyssa Chia said it was her first time in Hawaii, her first time about to play on the court, but it ended up as an evacuation. After receiving the warning, the group left the court, watching a rainbow in the distance from the car. She prayed: “Grant us strength, hope everything will be safe.”
