No warning for Hawaii, just a watch. Per National Weather Service spokesman on Fox News.

I don't know alot about those areas. Is that enough time for people to get out of the way? Also, Foxnews mentioned Hawaii. Is that really very likely? I wish I knew my Pacific geography better!

If a tsunami should form and head towards Hawaii, they have the best warning system in the world (I think it's the best in the world). There are sirens that go off that you can't miss, and everyone knows what that means. I hope it doesn't come to this, but if it does, at least Hawaii has their act together.
