Stay tuned to this radio station for updates.
Thank you.
with first light we’ll know more
surges continuing , some roads closed lots of debris on coastal roads , many ocean side homes and properties will be greatly affected .
100 ft inland penetrations in some places and waves heights to 12 ft.
I stayed in Kona a few months ago in a place right on the water. I wonder if it is still there.
Whoa. Over the seawall?
repeatedly , and continuing , up to 3 ft. over the wall
the 10th wave was the biggest set so far
Please keep us in the loop. It’s 8 am there now....they’ve had daylight for at least an hour now?
Apparently warnings have been posted for the entire West Coast of the US — California, Oregon, Washington.
Anyone affected — please be safe. Evacuate if you’re told to do so. Bravery is not a good idea in a tsunami.
Oh wait...it’s 8am in California.
No, it's 8 here in California. It's 6 in Hawaii.
Kona airport still open , HNL open
not sure about Maui , Maui is getting pounded
6:08 HST - faint first light - choppers getting up in the air at this time
Wow - I was just looking at Maui yesterday as a possible honeymoon location. I hope everyone is okay and gets to safe land without any problems.
Wait a few months and get a bag of popcorn. The show will get better. Electromagnetic solar activity will increase not decrease. Algore is a greedy carbon trading profiteer and total raging idiot.
Do the waves get smaller the longer the tsunami travels?
fish all over the ground in some places
We own a ground floor condo on Kaanapali in Maui which we spend two weeks in every April. We’ve seen storms wash away the beach sand from time to time but nothing worse. I pray that is all that happens. Oh, and the parking garage sits underground, below sea level.
Yes, as a general rule. it is basically an energy wave and as with any energy it will dissipate over time and distance.
However, coastal topography can greatly diminish or exaggerate the incoming tsunami, and you may see larger wave heights at far distant locations from others based on that.
depending on the sea bed, they get larger as the wave energy builds over a 5000 mile trip. When they reach the shallows of the continental shelf, the waves shoal, break, rebuild and shoal and break again
remember there are continuing aftershocks off Japan in the 6.5 range- generating more waves - that is why Japan remains under tsunami conditions
Wow!
reports here are that the 10th set was the biggest
that was over an hour ago
sets still hitting at this time
this tsunami is historic
