A major, 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck in the Celebes Sea near the Philippines on Monday, raising the possibility of a tsunami for the country’s coastlines, according to United States monitoring agencies.

A tsunami advisory has also been issued for Guam, according to the U.S. Tsunami Warning System. There was no threat to the Pacific coastlines of the United States and Canada, the agency said.

The temblor happened at 7:37 a.m. Philippine time about 15 miles southwest of Burias, Philippines, data from the U.S. Geological Survey shows.

Tsunamis are a series of long waves caused by a large and sudden displacement of water in the ocean, usually from a large earthquake on or below the ocean floor. Tsunamis radiate in all directions from the epicenter and can cause dangerous coastal flooding and powerful currents that can last for hours or days.

Experts warn that just before a tsunami hits shore, seawater can first be drawn out to sea — exposing large swaths of beach and giving people along the water a false sense that a coast is safe.

Aftershocks can occur days, weeks or even years after the first earthquake. These events can be of equal or larger magnitude to the initial earthquake, and they can continue to affect already damaged locations.

As more information becomes available, officials may update, add or cancel tsunami alerts and revise the earthquake’s reported magnitude. Additional information collected about the earthquake may also prompt U.S.G.S. scientists to update the shake-severity map.

GARDEN CITY, UT (AZFamily) — An Arizona teen drowned while paddleboarding at a lake in Utah, according to officials with the Utah Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division.

Officials responded to Ideal Beach on Bear Lake on Saturday for reports of a drowning and found that the 17-year-old had become separated from his paddleboard and was not wearing a life jacket.

First responders pulled the teen from the lake and gave life-saving measures, but he did not survive, officials said.

“This is a tragic and unfortunate circumstance. The Utah Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division extends condolences to family and friends,” the department said in a statement.

The teen was not identified. The drowning is under investigation.

Cellphone footage appears to capture the driver of a moving Tesla snoozing behind the wheel on a Southern California highway Sunday.

The incident, according to the motorist who recorded the footage and sent it to KTLA, occurred in the southbound lanes of Interstate 5 near Camp Pendleton.

In the footage, the driver’s head appears tilted to the right as the vehicle, likely in self-driving mode, traveled down the roadway. Occupants of the vehicle who spotted the sleepy driver can be heard laughing during the ordeal.

The video ends before the driver’s apparent nap does.

This is not the first time Tesla drivers have been caught mid-snooze. As far back as February 2023, video obtained by KTLA showed two separate drivers sleeping behind the wheel in the span of a week, one in Los Angeles and the other in Temecula.

More recently, KTLA’s San Francisco sister station KRON obtained footage of an East Bay driver apparently asleep behind the wheel of a Tesla Model 4 while on Highway 4 in March.

Per Tesla’s guidelines, drivers using the vehicle’s Full Self-Driving mode are required to remain attentive and ready to take control of the car at any moment.

In past incidents, the California Highway Patrol told KTLA that drivers must be awake, conscious and sober to legally operate a moving vehicle.

There have been arrests of drivers filmed sleeping in moving Teslas, though it is unclear whether witnesses in this incident contacted authorities.

The electric vehicle maker has been at the center of numerous controversies but remains the top-selling brand in California for the fourth year in a row. The Tesla Model Y far outsold any other new vehicle in the state in 2025.
