now with his data a 10 to 15-foot wave in some of the harbors and bays including hilo bay, what would that mean for the number of people that are living there? well, rob, our last destructive tsunami was in 1975. a local-generated tsunami. before that, we had several in the 1950s and 1960s. in 1960, we did have an earthquake off the coast of chile, i believe it was the strongest one in the recorded history a 9.5. and that earthquake did generate a destructive tsunami in the hilo bay area. as 30 feet, that would the situation would not be as bad as a destructive tsunami that killed 61 people in hilo bay. but it s one of those areas that tends to enhance this type of energy. and regardless what direction this energy comes from, hilo tends to be the center of attention as far as devastation and problems in these types of events. all right. great local insight for us.
