Tsunami
On Tuesday, September 29th there was an 8.0 earthquake off of Samoa in the South Pacific. It created a huge tsunami that devastated the area. Hawaii was put on tsunami alert until 1:15 pm that day. It was then cancelled and we were told to watch for abnormal tidal surges. About 4 pm in Keauhou Bay the water level dropped extremely low and then rose to completely flood the pier and parking area. No one in Hawaii was hurt. Thanks to Kurt for the photo's, it all happened with in five minutes.
TSUNAMI'S ARE VERY DANGEROUS AND UNPREDICTABLE. IF THE OCEAN LEVEL EVER DROPS WAY BELOW NORMAL RUN FOR THE HILLS!
