Aloha We have the "Great Crack" http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/volcanowatch/1998/98_07_16.html and the Hilo Tsunami Museum http://www.tsunami.org/index.htm. This will give you an idea as to why we have warning sirens. I live at 1600 ft. in Pukalani and there's a siren about 1/2 mi. away, we take the possibility of a tsunami event seriously as Hilo has been a witness several times. The Great Crack if and when it parts will be extremely destructive through out the Pacific Basin w/ most of the Hawaiian Islands being destroyed. Surf's Up Rob
