Tsunami watch canceled for Hawaii
HONOLULU (AP) — A tsunami warning for Hawaii has been canceled.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center says there’s no threat of tsunami waves for Hawaii. The state had been placed under a tsunami watch Thursday after an earthquake in the Solomon Islands.
A watch is the lowest level of alert.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries from the 7.7-magnitude quake.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the quake 43 miles (69 kilometers) west-southwest of Kirakira occurred at a depth of about 49 kilometers (30 miles).
