KHON are saying the timing of the normal waves are cancelling out the tsunami waves somewhat, so waves are 3ft instead of the 6-8ft forecast. Sounds hopeful - though no all clear for an hour or so.

Looks like we're safe. The Pacific Tsunami warning center is utterly baffled why we appear to have had such small waves. They're not cancelling the warning just yet, but they're now not expecting anything more serious.
Was quite startling the speed with which the water was pulling out of the bay, thankfully it was just 6ft trough to peak. There are a fair number of morons already back in the water though despite the drastic things it does to currents.

Hopefully they've evacuated to high ground and it'll all be a big anti climax

Something that amused me, just after the first wave hit Hilo, before we had a good sense of scale, some of our applications started alerting at work. Someone was trying to register and make sure they'd paid their Hawaii Unemployment Insurance.

You know how it goes, "no matter how well you idiot-proof your application, there is always a bigger idiot".
