Well, like many others, I’ve been following the developing stories surrounding the tsunami that was caused by the earthquake near Santiago, Chile. One of the many island groups that lay in the path of the tsunami was Hawaii and I’ve been keeping an eye on the webcams provided by MauiWindCam. They were one of the few live webcam sites in Hawaii capable of dealing with the huge influx of other curious people. For those who missed this, I’ve recorded a number of images that can be viewed in the gallery below.

While the actual waves were thankfully less high than expected, you do notice two distinct surges in the images. The view here is of the Sprecks towards the West Maui mountains.

I have another set (with a smoother timeline) from a different location as well, which may add soon as well. A few images from that set stood out and I will share this one with you here:

Apparently this person wasn’t aware that there was a tsunami warning in effect and that you shouldn’t be on the beach, especially not making any phone calls.
