The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center says the earthquake in Chile has generated a tsunami that could cause damage along coastlines of all islands in Hawaii. The first waves are expected to reach Hawaii at 11:19 a.m. Hawaii time (4:19 p.m. EST).
The center’s director is calling for “urgent action to protect lives and property” in Hawaii. He says he doesn’t know how big the waves will be, but he expects them to be the largest to hit Hawaii since 1964.
