EWA BEACH, Hawaii – A tsunami triggered by the Chilean earthquake raced across the Pacific Ocean on Saturday, threatening Hawaii and the U.S. West Coast as well as hundreds of islands from the bottom of the planet to the top.
Sirens blared in Hawaii to alert residents to the impending waves, with authorities asking people living near the water to evacuate. On several South Pacific islands hit by a tsunami last fall, police evacuated tens of thousands of residents from the coast.
The first waves in Hawaii are expected to hit shortly after 11 a.m. Saturday (4 p.m. EST; 2100 GMT) and measure roughly 8 feet (2.5 meters) at Hilo. Most Pacific Rim nations however did not order evacuations, but advised people in low-lying areas to be on the lookout. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/quake_tsunami

I reside about an hour drive distant from
where coastal forest with old growth trees
with trunks wider than three feet were broken
like matchsticks by a previous Tsunami. I've
met fishermen who had their vessel lifted 90
feet by Alaskan wave.
Answer :
One news report said that the tourists at Waikiki will not be evacuated but moved to higher floors in their hotels to avoid gridlock. I think if I were a tourist there I would start walking toward the mountains.
Answer :
UMMM this is a result of tectonic movement. Just like ALL the rest of the earthquakes... Science is good for you..
