I’m seeing it listed as a 7.1 eslewhere. Maybe they’ve downgraded it. Still a major quake.
The only channel I have found it on is the Weather Channel now they are saying 7.2...
I think there will be much more info on this going forward...

There’s been no downgrade. Ignore all information other than from the USGS website or their e-mail listserv.
Yep, they posted it AFTER my earlier - figures, go to bed and the world changes.
oh NOES
those came on after I looked at the USGS and Pacific tsunami center. Their initial report was none generated - things changed clearly.
Could this effect Hawaii or is that to far?
