Another Tsunami (03-11-2011) |
|
| |
|
Yesterday there was a very big earthquake
in Japan.
This resulted in a devastating tsunami in Japan.
The wave was expected to reach Kauai at about 3:00 am this morning.
We met at Port Allen at 1:30 am to get the boats out of the Harbor.
The largest waves came by in the night. |
| |
In the morning there was still some
surging of the harbor.
Here the water rushing out of Port Allen creates a standing wave by
the breakwater. Soon it would stop and then rush back in.

|
Here is what the corner of the pier
looked like with high water. |
| |
| Four minutes later this is the same
corner of the pier. |
|
| |
|
Same corner with about the highest
water level that I saw. |
| |
Here is the small boat harbor at Port
Allen. The water is flooding it.
During the night I heard that the water was flooding the parking lot
where the police car is. |
|
| |
|
Here is the small boat harbor with
high water. |
| |
| The water drains from the small boat
harbor. |
|
| |
|
This is the same finger pier about
2 minutes after high water.
Fortunately for Hawaii this Tsunami did not do much damage here.
It did continue across the California where waves up to 6 feet were
reported in California. |
