notice, it is such a beautiful day here in hilo. it s hot and sunny. many people said they had outdoor plans and they would be at the pitch. if we didn t have such good notice and warning system in place to let everyone know then people would still be at those beaches and possibly in danger if these tsunami waves hit hilo. we re waiting for the waves. no sign of any receding water along the coastline. we re waiting and watching. just like everyone else here in hilo. paul, we saw somebody in the water here at waikiki beach. do you happen to see anybody out in about not only in the water but along the shoreline? no, we don t. we don t see anybody in the water here other than the sail boat. the number of sail boats that were harbored here, they cleared out just a little while ago and went out just past break water. so there is a line of sail boats on the outside of hilo bay. but nobody in is in the water. police have done a very good job patrolling the area. and, again, the helicopter

kind of the waves would be breaking out there, even though just a few minutes ago all was quiet out there. not a great big powerful wave coming in. it looks like there is just activity as it reach that s area, whether it s gotten a little bit shallower because the water is coming inshore or got deeper. it is hard to tell. but we can see visible signs that things are changing in hilo bay as well as the wialoa river. we see that mud pouring through the river. things pretty calm. nobody is too excited. it s not like the big powerful tsunami wave that we ve seen pictures of. of course, even had video of from the 1960s and 1946 tsunami. again, we re starting to see some changes. we re starting to see some effect from the tsunami waves as they arrive here in hilo. we ll keep an eye on this. as soon as we see anything different, we ll let you know.

already we had reports of tsunami on new zealand. and they were at that 12-hour plus mark. take a look at this map. here s new zealand and the island we re getting the reports from is right about here. okay? and take a look at hawaii. you re on the 15-hour increment. so if we were seeing this an hour ago, it could potentially still be another hour plus before we begin to start to see those first waves. so we re hearing that the tsunami warning center may potentially give us an update on timing. i would expect that could even be a one hour from now. so we ll continue to monitor that and let you know. but we have seen bouies outside of this area that have been reporting some of those increases or decreases in water height. and so any time you see that and you see the changes, that s another proof positive basically that this is still coming. now how bad is it going to be? we don t know for sure.
