Aloha Joe!! Hilo got nailed by the Chile '60' quake and some damage from Alaska 64 quake. The last 2010 Chile quake produced the most noticeable tidal changes that were broadcast, but this is the 1dt tsunami type event that I've seen here that caused damage. Hawaii has some reefs that slow things down but I was in Kihei today and saw indications that the water went several 100's of yards in . The Humpback Sanctuary offices had their parking lot under water still, it was the site of the original WWVH , it is right on and along the bay just a few feet above sea level. For us to get a big tsunami we'd need a big local earthquake and we would have minimal time to evacuate, it would be bad but probably wouldn't happen in my lifetime. A hui ho Rob
