Great information, thank you all. Big quake! [:0] Unnerving (to say the least), and these links are really helpful.

Mahalo.

Just got back ... Swam @ Bayfront just so I could tell the story " during a tsunami "

Water surging in and out pretty hard like high to low tide + more beach break energy. Not extreme but enough to make one think.

Swirling currents in and out of the river + at Lighthouse as well ... Wave pattern of Lighthouse not consistent. More wild.

aloha,

Surfing a Tsunami, a feat worthy of Maui.
