Hate to ask, but when an earthquake is as close to land as this one was, isn't there a chance it could generate a local tsunami such as was at Halape (bottom of Volcano park) and another in Kau at an old landing
there.
Those give little warning, and are inside the warning bouys. Also, I belive Hamakua is a worry because quakes can cause landslides, as is obvious on all other north and east facing islands.
And why in the USGS printout previously posted was this graded as a poor earthquake?
