Its a warning...they haven't confirmed that there is a tsunami, just that quakes of this magnitude have caused them in the past.

Still scary though.

Lets just be thankful they have a warning even if it turns out to be nothing, and lets all hope and pray that is what happens.

for your friend

My friend island-hops too.
I'm tempted to call her but don't want to use up her cell's battery. Will just keep checking the news to see what's going on.

CNN just said we should know in about 2 hours if there are signs of a tsunami...

Okay I just read on CNN that IF a tsunami wave hits Hawaii, that it won't hit until roughly 1:18 p.m. their time, which is 7:18 p.m. NYC time, AND that IF it hits, it will be a very decreased wave.
Which means that people have about 3 hours to evacuate/reach higher elevations.
This helps put me at ease.
