The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has canceled a tsunami watch for the US state of Hawaii following a powerful 7.7-magnitude that struck near the Solomon Islands in the southern Pacific Ocean on Thursday.

PORTLAND (Sputnik) – The cancellation came an hour after the watch had been issued for all four Hawaiian islands, once the center determined there was no threat of a tsunami.

The quake that prompted the watch was centered 42 miles southwest of Kirakira, Solomon Islands at a depth of 30 miles.
