HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A Tsunami Watch has been issued for all Hawaiian islands after a large earthquake struck near the Solomon Islands, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
The quake, which struck around 7:38 a.m. HST, measured at a preliminary magnitude of 8.0, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
If tsunami waves impact Hawaii, the estimated earliest arrival of the first tsunami wave would be 2:56 p.m. HST.
Details are limited at this time, but the PTWC is investigating the threat to Hawaii.

anytime bureaucrats can control lives of sheep they get giddy. You see it on interstate highway repair. They will close down two lanes and cause huge accidents and injury and when you get to where they finally are they are sitting on the back of a truck, you bought, eating jelly and peanut sandwiches with their helmet on and listening to an IPODcast.
Yeah, but he sleeps a lot and Miaowara Tomokato (Samurai Cat) kicked his ass...
