  • boring is not a tsunami

  • @samuel98195 Tell that to the people who had a combined 10 million in property damage.

  • Really fascinating! When the water really pulled out of there and you could see all of the rocks, I though "Oh man, here comes the surge!" and then it was huge! Your equipment wasn't damaged, was it?

  • @ZeldaPhan No damage, but I did pick up and run a couple of times.

  • you know the oceans have tides right ? lolol

  • @dombadil Really!! tell me more. I guess since your so smart you already know that in Hawaii the largest tide exchange we get is about 2 1/2 feet. You probably also know that the tide doesn't exchange several times in a 45 minute period. LOL!!

  • @TheGTube1111 I wasn't aware the news had reported damage at Royal Kona, at it's highest point the tsunami was still about 3 feet below the edge of Royal Kona's sea wall. Made for a great place to watch to bay drain out but I wouldn't of been very comfortable had it been a slightly larger event. Also as you know Royal Kona is on the point, if it was located in the bay by Alii Drive, there probably would of been damage.
