California tsunami advisory in place after Russia quake; waves slam buildings in Siberia, Japan

While the impact is expected to be milder in Southern California, officials aren’t taking chances—advisories are up and down the coast. Meanwhile, Siberia and Japan are already seeing destructive waves slamming into buildings.
