tsunami warning cancelled
From USGS: No reports of damage or casualties have been received at this time; however, this earthquake may have caused damage due to its location and size.

A bit of news:
A police officer in Tonga told Britain's Sky Television it was the largest tremor for over 20 years but there were no immediate reports of damage. He said electricity went out though later came back.

Another witness told Sky the earthquake was felt in several islands and a resident of Tonga told Sky he felt tremors lasting over 30 seconds.
