Went down to the Maku'u "beach" after picking up the rent check from my tenants today on our way home from the Kona side and saw clear physical evidence of how far back the waves came last night. Big rocks were moved farther from the shore than I've ever seen and the big log bench is pretty busted up. The hala, ferns and grasses showed evidence of wave action almost to the parking area. My tenants said they could hear booming waves all night, and they are 2 miles back.
