The locations, years, and maximum reported Hawaii runups (i.e., wave heights) for significant Pacific-wide tsunamis

The locations, years, and maximum reported Hawaii runups (i.e., wave heights) for significant Pacific-wide tsunamis. Red-orange-yellow contours indicate the travel time to Honolulu for a tsunami with different origins. For example, an earthquake generated locally on the southeast coast of the Island of Hawaiʻi would arrive in Honolulu in less than an hour. Waves generated by a Japan earthquake might take 8 hours to reach Honolulu. Tsunami waves from the Aleutians would arrive in Honolulu in about 5 hours. The inset map in the upper right corner shows maximum runups for waves generated by the 1946 Aleutian Islands earthquake (meters/feet). See this link for map credits and more information.
