Apparently not a threat to Hawaii - Tsunami threat for Japan:

http://ptwc.weather.gov/text.php?id=hawaii.TIBHWX.2016.11.21...

"THE PACIFIC TSUNAMI WARNING CENTER HAS ISSUED A TSUNAMI THREAT MESSAGE FOR OTHER PARTS OF THE PACIFIC LOCATED CLOSER TO THE EARTHQUAKE. HOWEVER... BASED ON ALL AVAILABLE DATA THERE IS NO TSUNAMI THREAT TO HAWAII."




If I read your link correctly, that announcement is saying the earthquake is not a threat to Hawaii.


It also says that there are warnings for places closer to the earthquake. (ie Japan)


Not sure why the downvotes on this one. It's probably good news for the people in Hawaii, and for those of us who have friends/family there, that there is no threat.


Downvotes were for GP's original wording - a short statement to the effect of "not a threat."


True, apologies for this mis-post.
