Rumors of Earth Quakes

We had a false alarm last night. Somehow a rumor got loose throughout the islands saying there will be a 9.0 earth quake and tsunami to hit the Big Island. People were queued up to gas stations to fill up and purchasing bottled water to ride out the alert. However it was only a rumor. The civil defence said they had over 600 calls last night. They also anounced on the news this morning it is impossible to predict an earth quake so how these rumors get started is a mystery, especially one which puts the entire state on alert?
