Did anybody on the US or Canadian West Coast hear about the tsunami warning yesterday?

An 8.8 magnitude undersea quake hit off of Petropavlovsk on Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, around 1630 PDT / 2330 UTC. It was followed by a series of smaller quakes of about 5.5 magnitude.

It resulted in tsunami warnings / advisories for Hawaii, the Aleutians and pretty much all of coastal BC, WA, OR, and CA. I got the tsunami advisory on my phone about an hour after the initial 8.8.

Being that Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy is across the harbour from Rybachiy, the Russian Pacific Fleet's nuclear submarine base, anybody wonder if this quake could have been (((American))) made? (IF you want to go down that rabbit-hole)
