In Hawaii, Romanians reported horror with lines at gas stations and evacuations in coastal areas. The tsunami triggered emergency evacuations in Japan, where nearly 2 million people have been ordered to evacuate. Waves also reached California, and in Japan, only one fatality was reported. Experts warn that a similar quake could have devastating consequences in Romania.
