The first areas in #Hawaii that will see the #tsunami will be the northwest coast of Kauai, as that lies in the direction the waves are coming from.

They will wrap around and bounce around the islands. It remains to be seen how high they will get though

In Gaza, people have been holding a silent protest w pictures of Israeli children killed Oct 7th. Grieving parents in Gaza stand in the heart of the destruction, in siege and rubble.
