Sunday's 6.7-magnitude earthquake generated a 4-inch tsunami that was measured by Kawaihae Harbor's tide gauge at 7:17 a.m., according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.

Despite the strength of the 7:07 a.m. quake and a subsequent 6.0 quake that hit at 7:14 a.m., both events were so deep that only the larger quake altered the ocean floor enough to generate a "tsunami," said Gerard Fryer, a geophysicist at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.

Kawaihae Harbor's tide gauge was the only one in the Islands to measure the tsunami, Fryer said.
