Washington/San Francisco/Hyderabad, July 30 (Maxim News): The Indian Consulate General in San Francisco has issued a tsunami safety alert for Indian nationals residing in California, other US West Coast states, and Hawaii, following a massive 8.7 magnitude earthquake that struck early Wednesday near Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula.
