Hi, it depends on how far north you are. For LA, the arrival time is around 1AM, and surges of waves could last through 10AM on Wednesday.

It's no surprise that the two areas experiencing the highest waves and impacts are Hilo & Kahului, Hawaii.
These are areas with coastline shapes that channel waters into a more confined area, and makes it easier for low-lying areas to be inundated.
Outside of these areas, we have not heard of any significant impacts elsewhere, outside of a few 1-5ft waves. We're still closely monitoring the Hawaiian tsunamis, and the state is not yet in the clear, but hopefully will be within the next 2-3 hours.

Just a reminder, a Tsunami Advisory remains in effect for the entire U.S. West Coast, with a Tsunami WARNING for the Northern California Coast.
Waves are beginning to reach the sites just offshore, with some at least minor tsunami impacts expected. Some moderate impacts are likely in localized areas.
The threat should end within the next 4-6 hours.

Flooded is being reported in Hilo after water levels increased nearly 10 feet in just a few minutes as tsunami waves pushed through.
Hilo Bay is notoriously the most susceptible city in Hawaii to tsunamis due to the shape of the bay which acts like a funnel, amplifying incoming tsunami waves.
Many more rounds of tsunami waves will occur throughout the night.

A tsunami wave height is very different than a general surf height, since the wave is so deep a 1 foot wave can have an incredible about of energy. They cause issues similar to large tides and large storm surge: ie. coastal flooding and dramatic water level changes in harbors.

This can't be repeated enough:
Social Security does NOT add to the deficit or debt. Not one cent.
Anyone saying that Social Security needs to be cut to fix the budget is lying to you to take from you.
24 Nov 2024
Regardless of how we shore up Social Security to maintain benefits for future generations, one fact remains true: Social Security does not contribute to the national debt, and anyone saying it does is lying to you to take from you.
If you don’t want to believe me, maybe Ronald Reagan can convince you:
Social Security has nothing to do with the deficit. Social Security is totally funded by the payroll tax levied on employer and employee. If you reduce the outgo of Social Security that money would not go into the general fund to reduce the deficit. It would go into the Social Security trust fund, so Social Security has nothing to do with balancing a budget or erasing or lowering the deficit.

If Elon was actually looking for fraud, he’d be hiring forensic accountants—not a bunch of programmers.

This is how Americans are supposed to behave.
A few food truck vendors banded outside the Rose Bowl to feed those impacted by #LosAngelesFires
It turned into a pop-up donation site where people can now pick up food, clothing, toiletries, baby items etc.
Our City of Angels 🙏

LA is largely comprised of normal ass people who are not rich and famous and I’m sick of the fact that grown ass ppl On Here think that the best time to share their ignorance about this city and its inhabitants is when LA is experiencing a devestating series of fires.

Thanks to the person who flew a drone that crashed into the Super Scooper aircraft meant to fight fires.
As the fire crosses into the valley, they don’t have that aircraft available to help.
I hope they find the person who did this.
