Hawaii Weather: Literally at the eleventh am Hawaii time, a 12-foot tidal waves caused by a huge earthquake with a magnitude 8.8 Chilean strike is expected to have seven islands are inhabited. The first land: the Big Island, where 61 people died in 1960 when I get out sweet tsunami following the quake with a magnitude 9.6 Chile. Last September, after a devastating earthquake Samoa, Hawaii, ports and beaches saw 2 feet of boom, which is based on a few boats a tsunami warning was downgraded to an advisory body. No one drowned, despite mounting washed on the breakwater in Waikiki, where young children and non swimmers sport usually in shallow water.
This time it’s on full alert, and residents of low-lying areas of coastal areas are supposed to leave, except for the tourists in the high-rise hotels. For tourists, there are “vertical evacuation,” a term I’ve never heard of before. Which means that guests should not leave their hotels. Instead, it should go above the third floor, where they are told, and they will be safe.
“If the evacuation of coastal areas, would be visitors in Waikiki can be transferred to the upper floors in hotels, rather than moved out of the tourist area, which can cause suffocation,” reports The Associated Press.
At the same time, a resident of the island was driving around like crazy since before dawn, topping off gas tanks and shopping for items of emergency and television news and tell them to get, including enough food and water for seven days.
With memories of the tsunami in South Asia and the devastation fresh forever, for what is said visitors not to leave their hotels? It’s simple: it is bad for tourism and hotels, ifHawaii does not seem safe, or even uncomfortable in any way. When it comes to rainy weather, pollution, or an impending disaster, in this island’s one industry is tourism, no news is good news. For this reason, do not put warning signs on the shores of Waikiki, even after six days of the millions of gallons of raw sewage from a broken main darkened usually turquoise waters in 2006. Until then, the beaches were not closed. In contrast with the media in mainland cities, which posts daily reports of air quality in smog and soot to reach unhealthy levels, it’s a rare occasion when Hawaiin media on issues warnings vog – volcanic smog or fog – which regularly thickens Oahu, Maui andthe Big Island with the air in the lung harmful sulfur dioxide and particulates.
It seems that the visitor industry will not tolerate the high vacancy rates, even for one day.
Our phone map and say we are fine where we are. Still, “Water and liquids too, so you never know,” as a really nice weather, “said Justin Fujioka.
Therefore, we are about to head for the hills, literally, walking over the top of the diamond behind and above our house.
Before set forth, and GreenerPenny to make a note on how to prepare for disasters and we are green:
Mindy Pennybacker has spread only because I love the name!
Good luck.
As we saw during the tsunami disaster in Asia, and most moviephotos came from people that were even a few floors in their hotels. Hawian (volcanic islands) hotels are being built to resist earthquakes. What were not the huge wave is greater than they expected, and the few floors up is probably a very safe place to stay. The rise of the slope diamondheads – what the hell, and exercise is good for you, have fun, since you have plenty of time, go for it!
