Hawaii has strong quake, no injuries | Top News | Reuters.com: "SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck off Hawaii on Sunday morning, with shaking and power outages felt as far as 150 miles away on the island of Oahu, but no tsunami warnings were in effect, agencies reported.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the area off Oahu's west coast was hit by a series of quakes, the strongest of which registered a magnitude of 6.3. The USGS considers an earthquake of that magnitude to be strong.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or extensive damage to structures.

'There is no tsunami warning in place,' said Victor Sardina, a geophysicist at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said.

'We had a power supply outage and we're running on power backup,' Sardina said by telephone. 'This whole area was shaken up. It was pretty strong shaking.'" Read complete post here.
