Possible tsunami anticipated to hit Hawaii 11:19 a.m. HST / 4:19 p.m. EST

I just came home to LA to visit family from Honolulu, all my friends back in HI are saying "wow you picked the best time to leave".

Have no fear, we have an awesome tsunami damper in the ocean: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_Garbage_Patch

By the time tsunami gets through all that trash, it's going to be a wave even surfers wouldn't like.

No, waves are anticipated, tsunamis a possibility.

Thanks. Title corrected. By way of followup/addendum: http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/weak-tsunami-hits-polyn... - "Weak tsunami hits Polynesia"
