USGS has it as a 6.3
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/rec ... ustwbh.php
Still not much to report, except for widespread power outages, even in Honolulu 150 miles away. A 6.3 is fairly significant.

Geography of Hawaii for those unfamiliar with Hawaii.
The island of Hawaii is known as the "Big Island". The capital of Hawaii (the state, not the island), Honolulu, as well as Wakikiki Beach is on the island of O'ahu (the third island after the Big Island).
ETA: There are reports that the power is out at Honolulu Airport. They are on generators. No flights are leaving, but any incoming planes that can't be diverted to CA can land . . theortically.

USGS is saying 6.3, but The PACIFIC TSUNAMI WARNING CENTER is calling it a 6.5
