8.0 Earthquake hits the Solomon Islands.

Hundreds of people in remote parts of the Solomon Islands have had their homes damaged or destroyed by a powerful magnitude 8.0 earthquake that struck Friday. There have been no deaths reported from the quake, which also caused some small tsunami waves in the Solomon Islands and other Pacific islands.

There are some initial reports that 3,000 people have been affected. Many of the structures are traditional houses that are on stilts, and made with vegetation. The quake also caused some power failures throughout the country.

Tsunami warnings for several Pacific islands, including Hawaii, were canceled Friday after authorities determined the earthquake didn't pose a broad tsunami threat.
