Tsunami Advisory For Hawaii, Parts of California After Chile Quake

Sept. 17, 2015 - A powerful 8.3-magnitude earthquake off the coast of north Chile has forced more than one million people to evacuate their homes. Tsunami alerts were issued for Pacific coast areas from San Onofre state beach to Ragged Point, Callifornia, and the islands of Hawaii.

It prompted the U.S. Coastguard to urge the public in Hawaii to use "extreme caution" in waters around the main islands. People should prepare for "strong currents and surf throughout the main Hawaii Islands," they said.

The strong ocean activity was due to start in Hawaii at 3.11 a.m. local time (9.11 a.m. ET) and in California at 4.46 a.m. local time (7.46 a.m. ET).
