Yesterday’s tsunami

by billso on Thursday, 16 November 2006

From the Hon­olulu Adver­tiser and the Hon­olulu Star-Bulletin: We did have a tsunami yes­ter­day. City offi­cials asked peo­ple to stay out of the water at the beach parks, but the siren sys­tem was not activated.

The effects were dra­matic, espe­cially in Hau­nama Bay, but there was very lit­tle damage.

Still, it was the largest tsunami in 40 years, and one won­ders if any local busi­nesses set a dis­as­ter recov­ery plan (DRP) in motion. The wave was gen­er­ated by an 8+ mag­ni­tude eartquake in Japan, as shown in this graphic from the Advertiser.
