Tsunami (09-29-2009) |
|
| |
|
This morning there was a large earthquake
about 125 miles Southwest of Samoa. It had a magnitude of about 8.0.
It created a tsunami that hit Samoa soon afterward with much damage
and loss of life. |
| |
| There was a tsunami watch for Hawaii.
After a few hours it was cancelled. There was still an advisory for
unusual currents and sea changes. Most people never noticed any changes. |

One thing about tsunamis is that the
height of the waves vary a lot locally. On Kauai Nawiliwili harbor
usually has big changes in sea level. |
| |
| Here are some pictures showing two
of the highs that I observed and the lowest that I observed. I missed
the largest waves by over an hour. I heard that the whole dock was
about 6 inches underwater during the largest waves. |

I have put a couple of pictures together
to show the difference in height. |
