Hope that the fresh water that is bottled in Fiji hasn’t been affected.
It won’t hurt the water, but with any luck it might hurt the corporation:

As usual, there will never be a “6-point-anything” quake that poses the slightest tsunami threat to Hawaii unless it happens locally.
I’m waiting for the headline “Meteorite Strikes Moon, No Danger In Hawaii From Falling Debris”
Yep. I think that we all wait. Forever!
No Tsunami for Hawaii. God can see that we already have enough problems to deal with.
