| Tsunami warning for Hawaii downgraded; evacuation orders lifted Oct 28th 2012, 11:54 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A tsunami warning for Hawaii has been downgraded to an advisory on Sunday, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said.

The tsunami was triggered by a powerful earthquake off Canada's Pacific coast.
