According to the National Weather Service’s Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, no tsunami was expected due to the quake, though many regions may have experienced significant shaking.

According to USGS self-reporting statistics, some felt the tremor as far away as Kauai. For example, at a gas station in Naalehu, the shaking caused the refrigerator display doors to open and contents to fall to the ground.

There were no early reports of injuries. According to the Hawaii Department of Transportation, the earthquake caused no damage to airport runways, commercial harbors, or highway bridges.
