Hawaii Tourism Authority’s Post-Tsunami Statement

I know many of us were saying prayers and holding our breath today when we learned of the tsunami warning in Hawaii today. Thankfully, there was no reported  damage.

The  Hawaii Tourism Authority issued the following statement following the tsunami.:

“At approximately 1:40 p.m., the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center cancelled the tsunami warning in Hawaii.  There was no reported damage to the state as a result of the tsunami generated by the earthquake off the coast of Chile.  Hotels and other visitor-related facilities are open and operating normally.

Most flights to and from Hawaii are on schedule, however, there may be some delays and travelers should check with their airline before going to the airport.
