Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. Jude 1: 13-15

Obama and Chiyome Fukino will be deeply saddened if the tsunami destroys all the birth records maintained by the Hawaii Department of Health...

"The requested document does not exist on this server."

That's the message I get.

Only 10 feet but on flat islands can be major problem, also it was veru close so the waves can pick up steam as they travel. Heads up Hawaii and Austrailia and NZ

"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken." Luke 21:25-26

I live close to the beach at 7 foot elevation on Maui. There is a siren close to where I live. I hope it warns me in time to get my gallon of Paisano and head to higher ground.
