This is not going to be good according to expert Walker.

2. What does that mean? Does that mean that off shore spots have had so much water move off them-

they are DRY?

5. No, when a tsunami come in the...

water will recede from the shore much further than normal prior to the big wave coming to shore...However, just because the water recedes does not mean it will be a huge wave coming. But anytime you see the ocean recede you need to get the hell of the beach & head for high ground or high in a very stable concrete building.

8. They were saying the drawback went past the second reef further out

at Diamond Head. They estimated the drawback of the first couple of waves there as the length of a football field. I think it was either KMGB or KITV where I saw that. I have both video streams open.

3. That number will surely rise.

The videos of the waves are stunning. No way anyone can prepare for something of this magnitude. :-(

6. I watched it live as it was happening this morning, knowing full well I was watching people die,

And wanting to believe, no, it's not as bad as it looks.

There will be many many people who have died.. washed away without much warning.
