Terrified British tourists were forced to race back to their Hawaii cruise ship as sirens blared for a tsunami warning following a major earthquake this morning.
Hawaii locals desperately evacuated to higher ground on Wednesday after an 8.8 magnitude quake struck off Russia, pushing 15ft waves out across the Pacific.
Rachael Burrows, from Macclesfield, Cheshire, is currently on a cruise off the coast of Hawaii and was touring the Big Island when warnings first started.
They were forced to rush back to the ship before it left for safer waters, but 600 holidaymakers were left behind when the ship departed.
She said she was first warned about the tsunami when an alert came up on her phone.
