Tsunami rolls into Hawaii after major quake

After barreling across the Pacific Ocean for hours, a tsunami spawned by an earthquake in Canada struck the Hawaiian islands.

Waves between 3 and 7 feet were expected to lash the islands beginning about 10:28 p.m. Saturday (4:28 a.m. Sunday ET), the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said.

The first waves to hit Honolulu didn't seem much stronger than usual.

But scientists said don't be fooled by the initial waves, which often aren't the biggest.
