Looks like Hawaii got lucky! The tsunami did hit Hawaii as seen in this video. Some areas did experience extreme damage so not to take this natural disaster lightly but it could have been much more destructive in Hawaii. Watch the tell-tale sign of a tsunami. The water recedes, life looks good, all is calm, people are mislead into thinking the coast is safe and then the surge starts coming in.
Best wishes, thoughts and prayers for those in Japan and all areas effected by this horrible tragedy.
