A 6.9 magnitude earthquake that hit southeast of Honshu, Japan this morning did not generate a tsunami threat for Hawaii, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.

The earthquake struck at 12:56 this morning but “a destructive Pacific-wide tsunami is not expected,” according to the center, “and there is no tsunami threat to Hawaii.”
