It's now hitting O'ahu in Waikiki at 3:23 am local time. So far, still keeping to the sandy area, but it's definitely growing.
That was the first wave; it got about 2 feet, and was crashing up to the sea walls, but it did not wash up on Kalakaua Avenue. It had receded and you could see the protective wall...and 15 minutes later, it's starting to come back up again.
Below, you can't really see it, but for hundreds of yards off Diamond Head beach, the water has receded and exposed the entire reef, 3:45 am. The BIG one coming? Reefs all over Honolulu are exposed.
Clear picture grab of Diamond Head, of the reef exposed, about 300 feet out, third wave now coming in.
Kahului so far reached 6'; Haleiwa reached 3' and Honolulu has gotten to about 2'; Kauai reached 2.1' so far. This is going on back and forth as the reefs get exposed as the water pulls out.
Some heights so far:
KAHULUI (Maui): 6.0FT
LAHAINA (Maui): 1.6FTMILOLII (Big Island): 2.2FT
KAPOHO (Big Island): 0.1FT
BARBERS PT (O'ahu): 2.1FT
