Hawaii governor expects Tsunami wave to hit the island #breakingnews #tsunami #weather Hawaiians have been warned “wraparound” waves are set to hit the islands after a series of massive earthquakes off Russia triggered tsunami warnings. There have been reports of traffic jams as people followed orders to find higher ground amid the threat of “destructive” waves hitting within hours. A magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck off the coast of Russia’s far east earlier on Wednesday, Sydney time, sparking tsunami alerts for Japan, Hawaii, the west coast of the US and Pacific islands. Hawaii Governor Josh Green pleaded on X for locals to “please take this very seriously” and urged people to evacuate. “Do not risk being out at all near the shoreline,” he said. Mr Green added in a news briefing that a tsunami wave was “not a regular wave”. “It will actually kill you if you get hit by a tsunami, so you have to be out of that area.” He said people should retreat 4000 feet (120m) from the shoreline to be “absolutely safe”.
