melea zimmerman of the hawaii reporter. thank you very much for talking to us. >> gregg: we continue to watch live pictures of hawaii which roughly, would say what, 40 minutes ago, was supposed to be the beginning of the effects of the tsunami which may not, according to the experts we've been talking to, may be a high wave rather, the extension and contraction of the water. you'll see the storm surge and water receding. jerome fire is with the pacific tsunami warning center and joins us on the telephone. mr. fire, what can you tell us? >> well, right now we are watching the tsunami as it comes in the hilo. we had a very broad slow peak that took about ten minutes for the water to come and then it drained away. now, we have a second wave.
