“A tsunami is not just a wave,” he said. “This is a series of powerful waves for a long time. Tsunamics cross the sea at a distance of hundreds of miles in an hour – as a jet airplane – in deep water. But when they get closer to the shore, they slow down and start to stack.
He said, “In this case, due to the sending these huge waves of water across the sea due to the earth, they have been going forward and back for a long time,” that is why some communities may feel a long -term impact, he said.
Hawaii village. Josh Green stated that data from Midway Atol, which is between Japan and Hawaii, measured the waves in a trough of 6 feet from the summit. He said that the waves that kill Hawaii could be big or small and it was very early to mention how big they would be. A tsunami of that size would be similar to a 3 -foot wave ride at the top of the surf, he told at a news conference.
“This is a longitudinal wave that has great strength to driving through the coastline and through the ground,” he said.
Green stated that Black Hawk Helicopters have been activated and high water vehicles were ready to save those when officials need to save people. “But please don’t put yourself in the way of damage,” he said.
