cblaisd. Just looked at all the posts on this thread. Thank you for continuing to remind us of our history. It is important that someone keeps this in our thoughts.

Also in our thoughts should be the knowledge that there have been historical tsunamis in Hawaii in which at least 24 ft. high tsunami waves have inundated landward at least 330 ft. These massive tsunamis originate in the Aleutians and periodically have affected Hawaii. It has been 500-600 years since the last huge tsunami. I hope we never actually see another one of these.
