Hawaii village. Josh Green said that the data of Midway Atol between Japan and Hawaii measured the tsunami waves from 6 feet to 6 feet. He said that the waves that kill Hawaii could be big or small and it was very early to mention how big they would be. He said that a tsunami of that size would be similar to a three -foot wave ride at the top of the surf.
He stated in a new conference that a wave that can move size cars and throw the fence around. “It can dislike trees, so you can’t just get out of there. The effect is at a big speed,” Green said. “Any structure that is loose and can kill the person can take them out. And people can drown quite easily with that kind of wave.”
The port on Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia flooded near the sub -center of the earthquake as the residents fled inland. A few hours before going away from tsunami waves, cars in Honolulu blocked roads and highways, with standsstil traffic even in areas away from the coastline.

The effect of the tsunami can last for hours – such as a community of about 70 people in Alaska’s Aleutian Islands, or perhaps more than a day, a community, the snider said.
“A tsunami is not just a wave,” he said. “This is a series of powerful waves for a long time. Tsunamics cross the sea at a distance of hundreds of miles in an hour – as a jet airplane – in deep water. But when they get closer to the shore, they slow down and start to stack.
He said, “In this case, due to the sending these huge waves of water across the sea due to the earth, they have been going forward and back for a long time,” that is why some communities may feel a long -term impact, he said.
Hawaii village. Josh Green stated that data from Midway Atol, which is between Japan and Hawaii, measured the waves in a trough of 6 feet (1.8 m) from the summit. He said that the waves that kill Hawaii could be big or small and it was very early to mention how big they would be. He said that a tsunami of that size would ride a wave of 3 feet (90 cm) at the top of the surf.
He said at a news conference, “This is a longitudinal wave that has great strength driving through the coastline and through the ground.”
Green stated that Black Hawk Helicopters have been activated and high water vehicles were ready to save those when officials need to save people. “But please don’t put yourself in the way of damage,” he said.
The Oregon Department of Emergency Management said on Facebook that small tsunami waves were expected along the coast starting from 11:40 pm local time, with a height of the wave between 1 to 2 feet (30 to 60 cm).
