A great earthquake that occurred 495 km (305 miles) SSW of Severo-Kuril'sk, Kuril Islands, Russia and 1665 km (1030 miles) NE of Tokyo, Japan, generated a tsunami that was observed throughout the Pacific Basin. (reference #1053)
In Hawaii, the tsunami caused one injury at Waikiki, Honolulu, and five-foot waves were observed at Kahului. No damage was reported, but beaches on the Big Island were closed and the city shut down Hanauma Bay because of strong surges.
Six-foot surges observed at Crescent City, California, destroying two docks, causing significant damage to a third and minor damage to the remaining docks in the small boat basin.
One parking lot was flooded at Nawiliwili, Hawaii by a tsunami with a recorded wave height of 88 cm. (reference #1053)
