When has Hawaii received a tsunami.

It must take a 9.5 to ever hit Hawaii with a significant tsunami, I swear.

This article seems to indicate the tsunamis are even smaller than reported:

“The temblor generated three separate tsunami waves that are spreading, the largest of which measures 5.1 feet from sea level height, said Vindell Hsu, a geophysicist with the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Ewa Beach, Hawaii. Preliminary data had originally reported a larger tsunami.”

Looks like this may not be that bad after all compared to the 15-20 foot reports earlier.
