The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center reports the earthquake which occurred at
approximately 6:06 am of the Ka'u coast was not large enough to cause a tsunami for the
Island of Hawaii. I say again, there is NO TSUNAMI THREAT to the Island of Hawaii.
Preliminary data indicates that the earthquake measuring a magnitude of 4.8 was centered
off the coast of Ka'u.
As in all earthquakes, be aware of the possibility of after -shocks. If the earthquake was
strongly felt in your area, precautionary checks should be made for any damages; especially
to utility connections of Gas, Water, and Electricity.
