British Columbia Rocked By A 7.7 Earthquake....

Hawaii is too far away. The only threat is just higher waves. I care about all this earthquake business, but placing a Tsunami Warning for Hawaii is just a joke. Just place a High Surf Warning.

Better to give a warning than none at all, especially considering that LOLItalian scientists basically got sued for not giving an appropriate warning.

Plus higher than normal surf can be pretty bad as well. The 8.9 in Japan reached California and was able to wash out boats that weren't tied down properly and washed a swell of trash out into the Ocean. While not "catastrophic" by any means, it's still at least a little significant if only for a few seconds. 7.7 isn't too bad in terms of Tsunamis as earthquakes need to be much stronger to cause any significant damage to nearby areas (e.g. the Tsunami in December 2006 was caused by a ridiculously large earthquake really really close to those islands). I'd honestly be more worried about the people on land. 7.7 is a pretty big earthquake for a populated region.
