According to the tsunami warning issued, there is no verification of a tsunami yet. Only the possibility of one, so the warning was issued. I'd expect some sort of verification wouldn't take too long though.

CNN just said that the time that a potential tsunami would have hit Fiji has already past. No word yet from Fiji... Honolulu wouldn't see anything until about noon local time if there was one.

[Edit: Midnight changed to noon. Thanks Pops!]

CNN just issued a correction on the AM/PM timing for Hawaii. For a minute there I thought I had heard wrong. New Zealand has also been dropped from the warning. A tsunami has now been confirmed to exist, but at only 40cm in height it is of concern only to the islands immediately around the earthquake zone.

Last update: CNN says all tsunami warnings are canceled. Nothing but a scarry earthquake for those in the area.

Hope it's not a forerunner of a bigger earthquake.

The area in most danger from a potential tsunami, Tonga, did not get the warning.

Why? They were suffering a power outage.
