Don Johnston Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 My heart and prayers go out to all the people suffering because of this event. Hawaii was pretty well prepared with great advance warning. there are always the idiots and skeptics but no lives lost. lots of damage at various west facing harbors with boats getting loose and bashing each other. Big Island Kona coast got the worst of it with big surges damaging homes, cars and businesses. The sea level drop followed by the wave surge was something to see where I overlook part of the coastline of Honolulu. It always amazes me that someone thinks that they can surf tsunami (it is not called a wave for a reason). It took the same number of hours to get to Hawaii and California as a passenger jet flies. That is means it was going around 600 mph. I don't care how tall the "wave" is, two feet or ten feet. Anything moving at that speed with all the energy behind it, whether it is wind, water, mud, a car, etc. is going to do major damage. Far out in the ocean it only feels like a quick hiccup passing by. When it hits the shore, it is too late to respond as you can see on the video of the 30 footer that hit Japan and went at speed for miles inland.
