The Eastern Aleutian earthquake of April 1, 1946 spawned Hawaii's most damaging tsunami. The tsunami flooded all coastlines of all islands and resulted in 159 deaths. The tsunami arrived at about 6:45 a.m. local time and caught many people in Hilo in their houses; there were 96 deaths in that city alone. The tsunami was remarkable elsewhere in the Pacific as well. In the Marquesas, where, fortunately, it arrived late in the morning and so was widely recognized (only three peo...ple died there), the waves ran up on shore to a maximum elevation of 65 feet. In Hawaii the waves had reached "only" to 54 feet, on the north shore of Molokai. This image shows what the tsunami may have looked like four hours after the earthquake and is based on our tsunami model animations you can see at: http://youtu.be/UP_RK1Z13Bk (virtual globe) http://youtu.be/gcaR7tDKlq8 (Mercator)
