OK, it's a personal choice. Just like it's a personal choice to build your home in lava zone 1...
Stay or go. Tho for me if you up 100' above sea level what the hell, or a at least a mile from the shore line I doubt I'd go anywhere.
If I was right on the water line, I'd probably go visit a friend up the hill a ways. I dunno I know that if a 100-200' wave was to hit hilo well... that would suck for a lot of people.
But you gotta be realistic too ... when's the last time a 100-200' wave hit hawaii?
But the tsunami was far from over. The waves hit Hilo, Hawaii, 15 hours later, killing 61 people and badly injuring 282 others. Because of a confusion over the warning siren, people returned to their homes after the first wave, only to be later caught in the deafening 20 foot wave that followed.
So I can see why they don't want people returning home too soon!
So if you use common sense and are at least a mile or more from shore I'd say you don't have much to worry about. Unless California dropped off into the ocean and caused a 5000' wave then you might as well say bye bye!
I always find it funny how sheeple react to the warnings. Relax, take a prozac and get back to bed!
