Here's a link to the news:
6.6 in Hawaii
From the IBC maps it appears that the epicenter location shown on the crude news maps does show a higher than normal Ss (varying from about .150 to .192) and S1 (varying from 0.06 to .088).
This seems to put it into a Seismic Design Category of B (with a site class D). Seems like a fairly high shock for a B.
