The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a tsunami watch for the Hawaiian Islands after an earthquake off Samoa on Tuesday morning.
Scientists issued the watch at 8:05 a.m.
(Check to see if you are in an evacuation zone.)
The quake near the Samoa Islands hit with a magnitude 8.3. It had a preliminary measurement of 7.9, officials said. It struck at about 7:48 a.m.
Scientists are evaluating whether the tsunami threat is significant. The earliest Hawaii would see an impact would be 1:11 p.m., PTWC officials said.
