On Saturday in western Oahu people ran out of buildings into the street, some wearing nothing but slippers. According to a witness, some took shelter in the basement of a parking structure, where people cried and children huddled on rolls of fabric.

Approximately 30 minutes later, authorities said the alert was a mistake.

Many in the parking shelter hugged, cried, shook and prepared to head back outside. Others said they would remain undercover until they received confirmation from the coast guard that all was safe.

Hawaii Emergency Management Agency spokesman Richard Rapoza said it was not clear what caused the alert to go out and the agency was investigating.
