Hi snowkissed

Thanks for the reply

The bit that don't make sense is the reports of property damage. Also if the ground shook due to the boom it should still register. Still think this is odd

Usgs gave the iceland quake a 5.7

Unsure what is the cause of this at present

Also note a high uptake of quakes at central California

[bobbydog]

http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/index.php?pageid=seism_map&rid=279578

Is a bit premature?

Tsunami warning issued for Hawaii following magnitude 7.7 earthquake off west coast of Canada

http://news.blogs.cn...f-canada-coast/

[update 1:45 a.m.] Here's a recap: A large quake has hit off the coast of Canada. We have just received news that a tsunami warning has been issued as far as Hawaii. If you know you're in an evacuation zone in Hawaii, you need to pack up and move out.

In a little less than three hours, about 10:38 Hawaii time, the first waves will hit Hawaii.

What areas of Hawaii? The towns of Kahului and Hilo are likely to see a succession of waves. The shorelines will be dangerous for a couple of hours. "Basically this tsunami is pointed right at us," said Gerard Fryer, senior geophysicistat the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.

So far, thankfully, no tsunami wave of more than about 2 ft 6 inches resulting from this has hit Hawai'i.
