Tsunami Advisory Canceled

A tsunami advisory issued this afternoon for the Hawaiian Islands has been canceled.

The Hawai‘i County Civil Defense Agency issued the advisory Monday at 5:20 p.m. due to a 7.5-magnitude earthquake that struck the vicinity of the Aleutian Islands in Alaska.

The advisory was canceled at 7 p.m. Civil Defense states all beaches will remain closed for the rest of the day as a precaution due to possible strong currents.
