It was a long night for those of us living in Hawaii. Here in Kailua-Kona Tsunami warning sirens sounded through the night. The tsunami did hit here around 3:30 AM our time. The tsunami waves do not appear large – they were no more than 6 feet in Hawaii – but the energy release moves 500 miles an hour and from deep in the depths of the ocean. There was some local flooding here. No reports of injuries.
