In the aftermath of the devastating 8.8 earthquake in Chile, a tsunami warning has been issued for Hawaii, where my wife and I live. We should be safe where we are, but we’re monitoring closely.
They’re calling it a tsunami “event”, as contrary to popular belief, it’s not just one wave. It could be several waves over a space of a few hours. Hilo is expected to experience the first wave, a little less than two hours from how at around 11:05 a.m. HST.
If you’d like to track it with us, we’re using the hashtag #hitsunami. In addition, here are some of my sources:
