A tsunami advisory has expired for parts of California after an 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck near Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula​, prompting concern.

A tsunami advisory was issued for the California coast after an 8.8 quake off eastern Russia. Waves of up to 5 feet were predicted in Del Norte County. In L.A. County, waves of less than a foot were expected.

The area includes Crescent City, which is particularly vulnerable because of its low elevation. The rest of the state was under a lesser tsunami advisory.
