Original Note:
There was NOT a large earthquake at this place and time, which is why the false entry was deleted. Anyone can check publicly available seismic data to see: Hawaii: https://www.iris.edu/app/station_monitor/#Today/HV-WAID/webicorder/ San Diego: https://www.iris.edu/app/station_monitor/#Today/CI-SCI2/webicorder/ While rare, the causes and procedures for false alerts like this are clearly outlined by the USGS: https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/why-do-some-earthquakes-disappear-maplist
