My son, in Hilo, just called to say he's going up to Kaumana area - away from his apt by ocean. And he usually ignores these watches. But a 8.4 quake. . . . . Civil defense message flashing across our TV screens now. I'm up by the airport, so don't have to leave.

Thanks for the thread, Hal9000.

There are several reports on the magnitude, most recently 7.6-7.7. The location is deep sea off the Kuril Islands. At this time no reports of any serious tsunami in the local areas. We'll have to wait and see.

Hope your son packed warm jammies......it's cool in Kaumana.
