The April 1 Aleutian Island earthquake tsunami that killed 159 people on Hawaii and five in Alaska (the lighthouse keepers at the Scotch Cap Light in the Aleutians) resulted in the creation of a tsunami warning system known as the Pacific Tsunami Warning System (specifically the PTWC), established in 1949 for Pacific Ocean area countries. The tsunami is known as the April Fools Day Tsunami in Hawai'i due to people thinking the warnings were an April Fools prank.

  • @GeorgeMathewTV On a Tsunami you're more likely to get knocked out before you actually drown, so, either way you won't feel much pain.
