The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center canceled an alert for
Hawaii on Saturday, after waves caused erratic surges in the
sea but did not appear to cause significant property damage.
Gerard Fryer, a geophysicist at the center, told The
Associated Press that the state had "dodged a bullet" after a
major earthquake in Chile a half-day earlier had caused
tsunami warnings to be issued for most of the Pacific basin.
