It's a busy day for the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
Earlier today, a magnitude 6.8 earthquake in the Aleutian Islands off Alaska raised an alert, but at 10:30 a.m. the all clear was issued.
Moments ago, a magnitude 7.9 (!!!) earthquake in Peru has prompted a preliminary tsunami warning and watch for adjacent regions, and the PTWC notes that it may issue a watch or warning notice for Hawaii. If waves are generated, they'd arrive after 2 a.m.
