Hawaii in path of tsunami after major 7.7-magnitude quake off Canada's coast
Editor's Note: With about 20 minutes left before a tsunami is expected to hit Hawaii, it's a race against time for residents to rush inland.  Waves between 3 and 7 feet are expected to lash the islands, beginning about 10:28 p.m. local time Saturday (4:28 a.m. Sunday ET).  The tsunami was triggered by a sizable 7.7-magnitude earthquake in western Canada, headed toward them. Here is the full story.
Here are the latest developments:  
[Update 4:28 a.m.] As the clock ticks closer, the sense of urgency is palpable, says CNN's Augie Martin. Planes are flying overhead, illuminating their spotlight on the coast as they fly.
[Update 4:14 a.m.] Peter Carlisle, the mayor of Honolulu, issued an urgent and dire last-minute warning: If you haven't evacuated yet, don't count on the police to come and help you.  Because with the tsunami expected to hit just minutes from now, officers in low-lying areas have also been told to seek safety.
Meanwhile, Shelly Kunishige of the Hawaii State Civil Defense said she hopes the word has gotten out and people have heeded. 
"People are evacuating, the roads are somewhat congested. We didn't have had as much lead time as we have had with previous tsunami warnings and this is under the cover of night and this has slowed down the process somewhat," she told CNN.
[Update 4:10 a.m.] The tsunami advisory has been canceled for southeast Alaska. But it continues for British Columbia, southern Oregon and northern California.
[Update 3:49 a.m.] Neil Abercrombie, the governor of Hawaii, has just signed an emergency proclamation. Such a proclamation hands the governor emergency powers to deal with natural and man-made disasters or emergencies.
[Update 3:44 a.m.] The Honolulu neighborhood of Waikiki was hosting a blocks-long Halloween party, Hallowbaloo, where 15,000 people were expected. Frank Bridgewater, editor of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, told CNN he wondered how that many people were pulling out ahead of the tsunami's arrival.
[Update 3:26 a.m.] If you're in Hawaii, you can access evacuation maps here
[Update 3:23 a.m.] "There's no reason to panic but there's every reason to take necessary precautions," said Honolulu Mayor Peter Carlisle. He asked residents not to clog traffic, but it may be too late. Local television are showing images of bumper-to-bumper traffic on roads leading from the coast to inner ground.
[Update 3:18 a.m.] About 80,000 people live in evacuations zones in the island of Oahu, which is home to Honolulu. John Cummings, spokesman for the Honolulu Emergency Management, said officials have opened 26 centers for evacuees.
[Update 2:48 a.m.] Residents in Hawaii are taking the authorities' urging seriously - and making preparations accordingly:
[Update 2:31 a.m.] There have been about 9 aftershocks, most of them greatly lower than the initial quake in magnitude.
[Update 2:16 a.m.] CNN's Augie Martin who is in Big Island  just sent this e-mail: "We are currently in Hawaii and tsunami sirens are now blaring, FYI."
[Update 2:09 a.m.] Hawaii can expect waves between 3 and 7 feet, said Gerard Fryer, senior geophysicist at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. "We are recommending coastal evacuation," he said.
[Update 2:02 a.m.] The National Weather Service now says that a tsunami ADVISORY has been expanded to include northern California and southern Oregon. Bear in mind, this is an advisory, NOT a warning. An advisory means a tsunami capable of producing strong currents or waves dangerous to people near the water is expected.
[Update 1:45 a.m.] Here's a recap: A large quake has hit off the coast of Canada. We have just received news that a tsunami warning has been issued as far as Hawaii. If you know you're in an evacuation zone in Hawaii, you need to pack up and move out.
In a little less than three hours, about 10:38 Hawaii time, the first waves will hit Hawaii.
What areas of Hawaii? The towns of Kahului and Hilo are likely to see a succession of waves. The shorelines will be dangerous for a couple of hours. "Basically this tsunami is pointed right at us," said Gerard Fryer, senior geophysicist at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
[Update 1:32 a.m.] The #PrayforCanada hashtag has become a worldwide trending topic on Twitter.

[Update 1:25 a.m.] A tsunami warning has now been issued for the state of Hawaii, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said.
[Update 1:05 a.m.] Julianne McCaffrey of British Columbia Emergency Management is on CNN International right now. She says officials are watching the coastal areas and ensuring people are complying with the directives of local authorities. "We've not received any reports at this time of any damage."
[Update 1:05 a.m.] The National Weather Service just issued this photo:
[Update 12:44 a.m.] Fryer also clarified exactly what area the tsunami warning encompasses: It is for coast of British Columbia, from Vancouver to the southern panhandle of Alaska. Hawaii is NOT under warning.
[Update 12:38 a.m.]  Gerard Fryer, senior geophysicist at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center was just on CNN International and put the magnitude of the quake into perspective - while at the same allaying much of the concern.
"A 7.7 is a big, hefty earthquake. It’s not something you can ignore," he said. But, he added, "this earthquake was partly under the island and mostly under shallow water."
"I think we have to be thankful it happened where it did . .. if that were a heavily populated area, it would have caused significant damage," he said. "It definitely would have done significant damage if it had been under a city."
[Update 12:31 a.m.] A small tsunami has been recorded on a deep ocean pressure sensor, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said. The warning region remains the same.
[Update 12:23 a.m.] Julianne McCaffrey with Emergency Management BC tells CNN there are no reports of damage at this time.
[Update 12:12 a.m.] Some possible good news:
[Update 12:12 a.m.] The USGS is now reporting a second aftershock: Magnitude 4.8 about 126 miles south of Masset.
[Update 12:02 a.m.] Some coastal areas in Hawaii may feel small non-destructive sea level changes and strong currents for the next several hours, said the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said.
[Update 12 a.m.] A 5.8-magnitude aftershock was felt 96 miles south of Masset, Canada, according to the USGS.
[Update 11:56 p.m.] More from Englehard:
He said he has not seen any major damage in his town; just a broken window. The shaking lasted for a while, he said.
[Update 11:52 p.m.] Fritz Engelhard, who lives in Masset, British Columbia, said he felt the tremor even though his town is 86 miles from the epicenter. Residents have been asked to seek higher ground because of the tsunami warning, he said.
[Update 11:47 p.m.] The tweets started populating the Twitter timeline as soon as residents felt the tremor.
[Update 11:46 p.m.] The tsunami warning is in effect for the coastal areas of British Columbia and Alaska - from the north tip of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, to Cape Decision, Alaska. Such a warning means that all residents in those coastal regions should move immediately inland to higher ground.
[Update 11:43 p.m.] The Alaska Tsunami Warning Center has issued a tsunami warning.
[Posted at 11:40 p.m.] A 7.7-magnitude quake struck off the coast of Queen Charlotte Islands in Canada late Saturday, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The quake had a depth of 10.9 miles.

All of Hawaii is under a tsunami warning that officials believe could bring a wave as high as seven feet to certain harbors after a massive 7.7 earthquake struck off late Saturday night off the coast of western Canada The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center originally said there was no tsunami threat to Hawaii, but then issued the warning late Saturday. It remains in effect until 7 p.m. Sunday and a small craft advisory is in effect until Sunday morning. Officials are estimating a wave between three to seven feet for certain locations in Hawaii. Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie issued an emergency proclamation directing authorities to keep residents off the coastal areas, and people in designated tsunami inundation zones are being warned to move to higher ground at least 30 feet above sea level. All roads connecting to these zones have been closed. The center says the first tsunami wave could hit the islands by about 10:28 p.m. local time, which is 4:28 a.m. ET. State officials say evacuations are underway in low-lying coastal areas, especially in northeast areas of the islands In addition, the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center says parts of coastal Oregon and northern California have been placed under a tsunami advisory. The alerts came after the U.S. Geological Survey said the 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit in the Queen Charlotte Islands area Saturday night. A tsunami warning means an area is likely to be hit by a wave, while an advisory means an area could be hit. A small tsunami was barely noticeable in Craig, Alaska, where a four-inch wave was recorded. Dennis Sinnott of the Canadian Institute of Ocean Science said a 27 inch wave was recorded off Langara Island on the northeast tip of Haida Gwaii, formerly called the Queen Charlotte Islands. Another 21 inch wave hit Winter Harbour on the northeast coast of Vancouver Island. "It appears to be settling down," he said. "It does not mean we won't get another small wave coming through." The temblor shook the waters around British Columbia and was followed by a 5.8 magnitude aftershock several minutes later. Several other aftershocks were reported. The U.S. Coast Guard in Alaska said it was trying to warn everyone with a boat on the water to prepare for a potential tsunami. Lt. Bernard Auth of the Juneau Command Center said the Coast Guard was working with local authorities to alert people in coastal towns to take precautions. The quake struck 25 miles south of Sandspit, British Columbia, on the Haida Gwaii archipelago, formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands. People in coastal areas were advised to move to higher ground. Urs Thomas, operator of the Golden Spruce hotel in Port Clements said there was no warning before everything began moving inside and outside the hotel. He said it lasted about three minutes. "It was a pretty good shock," Thomas, 59, said. "I looked at my boat outside. It was rocking. Everything was moving. My truck was moving." After the initial jolt, Thomas began to check the hotel. "The fixtures and everything were still swinging," he said. "I had some picture frames coming down." Natural Resources Canada said in a statement that a major earthquake was felt across much of north and central British Columbia but that there were no immediate reports of damage. PrayForCanada became a worldwide trending topic on Twitter. "I was sitting at my desk on my computer and everything just started to move. It was maybe 20 seconds," said Joan Girbav, manager of Pacific Inn in Prince Rupert, British Columbia. "It's very scary. I've lived here all my life and I've never felt that." The quake was felt on the mainland in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, which is across the Hecate Strait from the islands. "Everyone felt it here," said city recreation director Rudy Kelly, who was setting up an evacuation center for people from the city's low-lying areas. He said the work was in anticipation of a tsunami wave. Prince Rupert resident Grainne Barthe said fire trucks had blocked access to the waterfront when she came out of a restaurant. "Everything was moving. It was crazy," she said. "I've felt earthquakes before but this was the biggest. It was nerve wracking. I thought we should be going under a table." Residents rushed out of their homes in Tofino, British Columbia on Vancouver Island when the tsunami sirens sounded, but they were allowed to return about two hours after the quake. Yvett Drews, a resident of Tofino, said she and dozens of others had gathered at the local elementary school where they were told by police that they could return home. But while on the way home, Drews said she heard the tsunami sirens go off again. "Well that just freaked me out, hearing the siren and the voice," she said. Carsten Ginsburg, a resident on British Columbia's mainland in Bella Coola, said the quake lasted for about 40 seconds. "It shook everything. The electricity went out, the power lines were swinging all over the place and stuff was falling off the shelves." Ginsburg owns the Float House Inn on the public wharf in Bella Coola and had about six customers celebrating a birthday party. Canada's largest earthquake since 1700 was an 8.1 magnitude quake on August 22, 1949 off the coast of British Columbia, according to the Canadian government's Natural Resources website. It occurred on the Queen Charlotte Fault in what the department called Canada's equivalent of the San Andreas Fault -- the boundary between the Pacific and North American plates that runs underwater along the west coast of the Haida Gwaii. Saturday's quake is the strongest in Canada since 1958 when a 7.9 magnitude quake struck along the B.C.-Alaska border about 300 miles northeast of Saturday's quake, according to the website Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/10/28/tsunami-warning-issued-for-hawaii-after-canadian-quake/#ixzz2AgcKRh7F

Weary of contradicting President Obama's recurrent attacks on his tax set up, political party presidential candidate Mitt Romney offered a homespun version of a truth usually ascribed to Soviet strongman Bolshevist. "Look, I’ve got 5 boys," Romney same. "I’m wont to folks speech communication one thing that’s not continually true however simply continue repetition it and ultimately hoping I’ll believe it. however that's not the case, all right? i'll not scale back the taxes paid by high-income Americans." Yet each candidates vie the repeat-it-often-enough-maybe-people-will-believe-it game on a giant issue: for Obama, it absolutely was Romney's tax set up, and for Romney, it absolutely was however the 2010 health care law can have an effect on health care and doctor-patient relationships. They weren't precisely lying, however their critiques weren't fully honest either.

TRANSCRIPT: First presidential debate

The $5-trillion tag

The debate had barely begun before Obama started criticizing Romney for proposing "a $5-trillion tax cut on prime of the extension of the Bush tax cuts." He recurrent the $5-trillion figure 3 additional times, despite Romney speech communication many times that he had projected no such factor. There ar 2 things wrong with Obama's statement. The first, as Romney noticed, is that it ignores Romney's pledge to offset the cut in rates by curtailing any old tax breaks, significantly for high-income Americans. What Obama was doing, in alternative words, was staring at the gross price, not cyber web. it is the same plan of action Obama's critics use once talking concerning the "$1.7-trillion cost" of Obamacare -- they appear solely at one aspect of the ledger. The second drawback is that the $5-trillion range, that Obama bestowed without ambiguity, is simply a ballpark estimate of the gross price of Romney's set up. Although he hasn't stuffed in some crucial blanks, Romney has been quite clear concerning these things: He desires to slash income tax rates by 2 hundredth across the board, to eliminate taxes on investment financial gain for couples with taxable incomes of but $200,000, and finish each estate taxes and therefore the various Minimum Tax. additionally, he is projected to chop company taxes to twenty fifth and finish the taxation of financial gain earned overseas. How much these cuts would scale back projected revenue depends in massive half on how briskly the economy grows. As Obama is aware of only too well, protrusive the expansion of the economy could be a terribly difficult business. Even predicting the value of the changes for one year is chancy, given what quantity people's behavior changes in response to new tax breaks. Cutting the tax on capital gains, for instance, tends to cause a quick surge in revenue as a result of it prompts a spike in quality sales. Obama came up along with his $5-trillion figure by taking associate estimate by the centrist tax program Center of the annual price of Romney's tax cuts -- $480 billion in 2015 -- and multiplying it by ten. the middle has already revised its estimate down, to $456 billion, to account for a few of the activity changes that the tax cuts would turn out. The additional conservative Tax Foundation, on the opposite hand, contends that the tax cuts would scale back revenue by $231 billion, supported 2008 information, however generate enough economic process to offset nearly hour of that loss. The gross 10-year price would so be but a 3rd of the $5 trillion that Obama cited. The $716-billion health care cut Obama really spoken the $716-billion figure 1st, speech communication that quantity was "saved" by "no longer overpaying insurance firms, [and] by ensuring that we have a tendency to weren’t overpaying suppliers." Romney then defendant Obama ninefold of cutting $716 billion from health care. consistent with Romney, these cuts would "lower" payments to health care suppliers, creating it more durable for seniors to get care, and cause insurers to curtail some health care Advantage plans. But the 2010 Patient Protection and reasonable Care Act, including those changes, does not scale back payments to doctors or hospitals -- it slows the speed at that they'll grow. it'll scale back the subsidies personal insurers receive for health care Advantage, which suggests that those plans might give fewer advantages to seniors on the far side what health care itself provides. however the program, that was designed to lower prices through competition among personal insurers, has evidenced less economical than ancient health care. The 2010 law forces insurers within the health care Advantage program bit by bit to match the potency of ancient health care. that is such a sound approach that Romney's candidate, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), has enclosed it in his annual budget proposals. Bureaucrats dictating medical treatments When asked why he needed to repeal Obamacare, Romney same one reason was that "it puts in situ associate unelected board that’s reaching to tell folks ultimately what reasonably treatments they'll have." He recurrent that assertion 5 times because the evening went on. Romney was touching on the freelance Payment board, that the law needs to propose changes to health care if the value per beneficiary exceeds economic process per capita by quite a hundred and twenty fifth. Those changes can come in impact mechanically unless Congress enacts another to realize constant quantity of savings. However, the law constrains the board in a very means that looks to preclude dictating that medical procedures ar and don't seem to be out there. "The proposal shall not embody any recommendation to ration health care," the act states. consistent with Obama, meaning the board is "explicitly prohibited" from creating choices concerning treatments. This point is heatedly controversial by critics of the reasonable Care Act. Supporters say the board might and will promote the simplest body practices developed by health care suppliers round the country, similarly as measures that cut prices by rising patients' care. a decent example is finding ways that to safeguard beneficiaries from deed infections whereas within the hospital. Critics, however, say that the administration's not-so-secret agenda is to want health care doctors and hospitals to supply solely the treatments that the govt finds to be cost-efficient. that is a well-known observe from the personal insurance trade, however the government's normal has been different: health care pays for any treatments that ar shown to be effective, while not considering the value. The 2010 law tries to enhance the standard of care by creating out there additional data concerning "comparative effectiveness," or analysis into that treatments work best. however even there, the comparison being done by researchers is not supported price however on patient outcomes. Romney's assertion is predicated on the idea that the "unelected board" can abandon Medicare's ancient approach to coverage in its hunt for savings. however there is very little or no basis for that within the law, and small reason to believe that Congress would countenance the board going any than health care already will to limit that treatments ar out there.
