HONOLULU, Hawaii (CNN) -- A strong earthquake rumbled underneath the islands of Hawaii on Sunday, the National Earthquake Information Center reported on its Web site.

The quake had a magnitude of 6.3 and was centered 153 miles southeast of Honolulu, the NEIC said.

Bruce Pressgrave of U.S.Geological Survey said preliminary reports indicate the quake was centered along the West coast of the Big Island.

The temblor struck at 7:07 a.m. local time (1:07 p.m. ET) and was measured at a depth of almost 15 miles.

KITV reporter Keoki Kerr in Kaneohe, Hawaii, said he hadn't heard of any serious injuries, although it was difficult to reach people at that time.

Electrical power was out in some parts of the capital city of Oahu, and there were reports of landslides, said Kerr.

Erik von Ancken, a reporter from Orlando, was vacationing in Hawaii with his fiancee.

"My fiancee and I -- we were walking on some of the paths by the ocean. The fish in the pond started jumping. ... The windows on the buildings started to shake," he said. "People started to run for higher ground. ... There was a lot of fear."

Supposedly, I've b een through quite a few but I never felt one ... untill this past Feb. 24 (2006) ... I was at the Rideau Center in Ottawa Ontario ... the mall was just about to close ... I was about to buy an iTunes card (stupid thing to do) when I felt the ENTIRE mall shake. I looked at the clerk and said "there isn't a train station near here or a subwa... no, no there isn't ... that had to be an earthquake!" ... went back to the Radisson and turned on the news, and voila, it was just as I expected - an earthquake.

      Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa. Almost all the games being offered this time require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with only one title being available for all players. Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. Apart from Dead by Daylight's offer, this week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 21, at 11:59 pm PT.
