The predictions for wave heights at the various islands in the HI chain are probably derived from this. CNN on cable has been providing pretty decent coverage. Twenty minutes 'til the tsunami hits the Big Island. CNN reports that the media has been asked to leave the area of the Tsunami Warning Center in Hono. They also say that the waves that hit the Marquesas earlier were predicted to be 12 feet but were only 6 feet. If you're in a kayak... stay in very deep water!
