A 7.8 magnitude earthquake has occurred near the vanuatu islands in the Southwest Pacific ocean this early this afternoon. Based on all available data a major tsunami is not expected to strike the state of Hawaii and therefore the tsunami watch has been canceled. However sea level changes and strong currents may occur along the coast that could be a hazard to swimmers…boaters and beach goers. the estimated time such effects might begin is 700 pm HST this evening.
Listen to NOAA weather radio or your local media for any possible updates on this situation.

No real story behind this photograph. Just a reminder that it’s good to live Hawaii.
This couple was soaking up the view of Maui and watching the waves roll in Friday, Dec. 5, 2008 at Holoholokai Beach Park, near The Fairmont Orchid Hawaii. The temperature was in the toasty 70s.
Meanwhile, in Toledo, Ohio, the high temperature was expected to be 16 for the day; in Milwaukee, it was going to shoot up to 8; and in Green Bay, they don’t even have a temperature. It was 0. Seriously, zero. And, on Monday, they can expect ice pellets. Seriously, ice pellets.
