Big earthquake off the coast of Russia. All Hawaiian islands are being told to get inland or seek higher ground. They expect waves to start up around 7:00pm Hawaiian time today.

We just heard. The map I saw looks like Honolulu is least likely of all the islands to be affected. I hope the seas stay calm and none are affected.

Honolulu is recommending coastal areas evacuate or get to above 4 stories above if in a building.

Some at Aulani said as of now they have only closed the beach and pools nothing else as of yet.

I have family on Oahu, near Ewa Beach. All I know from a brief message is sirens went off, a school is being readied as an emergency shelter and a youth camp has been evacuated and the kids brought inland. Everyone needs to prepare for the worst and hope for the best

Aulani TVs aren’t working in rooms but guests have been notified to go to floor 3 or higher

Hawaii News Now evidently mentioned Aulani specifically and said people should be fine staying on floor 4 or above.

OMG! I hope everyone in Aulani and across the state are ok.

I have a lot of family on Kauai. I'm hoping it isn't as bad as predicted.

Someone said the Marriott is being evacuated, unsure if it’s actually true. Will be interesting to see if that is actually the case vs Aulani not being evacuated.

News showed traffic out of KoOlina is pretty bad currently

 

[Wayland10]

Hoping for the best for you all!

Some good news… the OCONUS airlines (Alaska and Hawaiian) have started resuming flights from HNL.

Watching news updates and facebook posts... seems like HW escaped the worse of it... hopeing it stays that way as the sun comes up and they can see everything more.

A little unspoken fact… when you hear Perry and the Posse on KSSK and it’s not a Monday thru Saturday morning, something serious has happened. Those guys actually go on the air LIVE when an emergency like this occurs.

Aulani Guests Safely Evacuated Amid Hawaii Tsunami Warning ​

Yesterday, following an 8.8-magnitude earthquake off the coast of Russia, tsunami warnings were issued across Hawaii—including at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa.

In an abundance of caution, Disney evacuated the first three floors of the resort and suspended elevator service while preparing for potential impact. Thankfully, no significant waves occurred, and the resort is expected to return to normal operations later today.
