When the tsunami waves arrive, Hawaiians far from the coast

Many Hawaiians have listened to the official advice of leaving the coastal area after the tsunami waves reached another area of the United States and the Pacific with a strong earthquake near Russia.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has been recorded on Tuesday evening, Maui, Oahu, and Hawaii, and people urged “urgent behavior” to protect life and property.

The center later lowered the tsunami warning against Hawaii to tsunami advice, but warned that the flood was still possible.

Josh Green Governor said that he had not yet seen the “wave of results” yet.

He previously recommended moving to people in the lowland area to move higher and mentioned that the roads are busy as people evacuate their homes.

Other areas on the west coast of the United States, including California and Alaska, have prepared their own tsunami advice from the National Tsunami Alarm Center (NTWC).

The NTWC warning means that a wide range of floods are expected or occurred, while consultation indicates that it has potential for strong current or waves that can be dangerous.

Earthquake scholar Lucy Jones predicted that waves could damage the real estate of the port and coast in Hawaii and California, but they would not cause fatal life loss in America.

Dr. Jones said that the highest waves could be a number of feet height in Hawaii, but in 2011, they reached 42 feet (13m) during the deadly tsunami of Japan.

Many Hawaiians did not get a chance.

Maui residents who were devastated by forest fires two years ago were one of those who moved to higher land during warnings.

David Dorn said he was not used to the Tsunami warning to the BBC and lived a block in the sea of the coastal city in Kihei of Maui for 30 years. But he and his wife were treating this differently.

“We try to take them seriously, but most people take them a bit lightly.”

He and his wife were evacuated to higher land and tried to spend the night in the van at the inland shopping center.

Dorn said he moved the electronic product to the attic before leaving the house and hoped that the seawater would not reach the rafters even if it penetrated the building.

His biggest concern was traffic, especially when the electric drama fell and the road was blocked.

“Traffic is always a problem and getting worse, and it’s the worst in this emergency,” he said.

Another Maui resident, Roger Pleasanton, said the traffic is “the same as New York City.”

“I tried to go to a grocery store, but I could skip the groceries and go out here,” he added.

Maui, who was ready for the waves to arrive, opened the shelter and the water facilities were closed to protect them from possible damage.

Ten years have passed since the last lifelong resident of the island, Felicia Johnson, fled from the tsunami. Later on Tuesday, she found her moving to higher places.

Johnson, a 47 -year -old, described the patterns that seem to be common with tsunami, with a great rise and rising.

She wrote a truck and shouted a truck to spend the night with her family and friends in the mountains.

She compared the situation to the island and the community in comparison with the fire that hit Lahaina two years ago.

“What I can do is leave the house. I’m leaving, so I’m sure I’m worried about something coming, but I can say what you can cry about?

“We went through this in fire, there was no warning, it was so fatal. Now, we are our fault if we don’t go.”

The waves reached 5.7 feet (1.74m) were recorded in Maui’s Car Kul Louis and one of 4.9 feet was recorded in Hilo, Hawaii.

The emergency management authorities warned that people remained outside the coastal evacuation area until they were given.

In California, the first waves were relatively small. The first measurement of the National Tsunami Warning Center shows the wave of 1.6 feet hitting arena cove north of San Francisco.

In Montray in the south, 1.4 feet height was recorded.

The National Weather Service warned about the potentially higher crest (San Francisco and Los Angeles) near Port San Luis, and people were asked to avoid the area.

In Manhattan Beach in Los Angeles County, some have been comfortable with the threat.

The 25 -year -old George Mejia and his two cousins packed long boards in Convertible when their mother called.

“She said, ‘I saw the earthquake big and would there be a tsunami?” I was ‘No, I was in the water!’

The trio talked about sitting in the car, popping out of the sea without speeding speed, and riding a tsunami waves.

The Blue tsunami evacuation path signs along many roads along the west coast of the United States.

In Canada, the height of the waves has been kept less than one foot.
