The link is to the predictions from a model for tsunami height. I was interested in Crescent City, far northern california, because they tend to be amplified there. The prediction is 2.5 m. there were 11 fatalities in 1964 in Crescent City from the Great M9.2(?) Alaska quake. As of 4:20 AM Hawaiian time, there has been recorded a 1.82 m tsunami at Kahului Maui. I imagine that would do some damage there (I've been to that coast; my sister and nephew live in Maui. My nephew has surfed 10 m waves at "Jaws": I hope he does not get any bad ideas (I emailed them). http://www.weather.gov/ptwc/text.php?id=hawaii.2011.03.11.142300 Chris
