It was that action that caused so much horrible damage on Banda Aceh on the west end of Sumatra in 2004: a 20-foot high surge of water that lasted for a long period of time, literally scouring that town flat and killing over 100,000 people.
shutting down now and heading for safety. Don’t want to wait for the last minute. Aloha and thank all for caring. Talk as soon as possible , hopefully later today. FH
My granddaughter in law is there near Pearl alone..She called my daughter this morning..Navy grandson at sea.
Prayers for you and yours, Big Look.
The trolls are so thick lately you have to wade through them. It’s getting ridiculous. I guess that ad on Craig’s list for Obots got a lot of takers.
Obama made like a 30 second speech and then ran off, probably to go do some indoor golfing.
OK, thanks, the web cam is back up, it does have to be refreshed, its just a still image, the live feed cam I think will work for somebody else, I’m on a dialup.
Be safe, fish hawk!
NO inundation evacuations at 6 a.m. That’s just when the first sirens went off. They’re blowing them hourly now. TV stations with full coverage.
For the guy in Alaska asking where Kona was, look for Kailua (Kailua-Kona) on the Big Island (the island furthest south). Hilo is usually the hardest hit in this sort of thing (opposite side of the island).
All islands have been told to expect a tsunami. The shorelines are the places to avoid.
I have a friend on FB in Hawaii, she’s giving us periodic updates on the situation there...so far, people seem to be evacuating like they are supposed to. Hopefully you won’t have large groups of people staying behind ‘for the show’ who will wind up dead if some big waves DO hit the beaches!

God be with you, fish hawk.
Yeah I know bro, care to tell them its the end of civilization and they have 3 hours to repent? A sane person would at least be somewhat concerned about current events, instead of trying to whitewash a black past.
just a little troll humor...
5.9 foot waves in the Marquesas 13 minutes ago.
We’ve got a great place for “the view” about a mile from our home. It’s way high elevated with a view across the entire South Shore to Diamond Head. If the better half gets some good photos I’ll post them.
Thank you!
So I have time to order one last Mike’s chili cheese burger and garlic fries here in Eureka? (Elevation 16’)
I’m watching what looks like a guy fishing on a Kona cam in a red boat at 9:01:26
