A magnitude 8.8 earthquake with a depth of about 12 miles struck off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula at 7:24 p.m. ET, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). It is the 8th strongest earthquake ever recorded, according to USGS. The quake, which was recorded approximately 78 miles southeast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia, sparked tsunami alerts across the Pacific. Tsunami waves reached Hawaii, California and other states along the West Coast, according to the National Weather Service.

Smoke billows over Grand Canyon after fire decimates lodge. See photos.
Billowing smoke and orange haze intruded on tourist photos at Grand Canyon National Park after wildfires burned in the area on July 13. Two wildfires continued to burn in northern Arizona through the weekend, ravaging more than 45,000 acres in total, according to officials. The Dragon Bravo fire at the park's North Rim was sparked by lightning on July 4, park officials said July 10. While the blaze was initially managed by first responders, it began to spread from strong wind gusts on July 11, officials said. It has since decimated the Grand Canyon Lodge, a historic hotel in the North Rim, as well as dozens of other structures, according to National Park Service officials. No injuries have been reported as of July 13. Another fire about 30 miles away — the White Sage fire — has burned since a July 9 thunderstorm in the area, according to the government's fire tracker. While the North Rim is closed, photos from the South Rim on July 13 show signs of a blaze in the area.
