Hopefully the distance separation will be a saviour for Hawai'i.

The waves do weaken over a long distance.

yeah but when the wave length can be 200km's long and they are travelling at up to 950km/hr they pack a whole lot of punch even of the wave height is only 1m. Obviously the speed drops off as they approach shallow waters - but the wave height then tends to increase.

Lets hope all is ok.
