Exactly 77 years ago, on April Foolʻs Day 1946, Hilo and the surrounding coast was hit by the most devastating tsunami in Hawaiʻi’s modern history. The death toll was 158. The tsunami was triggered by a 7.4-magnitude earthquake (although some scientists now say it was closer to 8.5-magnitude) that happened in the middle of the night off the Alaskan coast. Less than five hours later, the monster waves rolled in from the Aleutian Islands, surprising the State of Hawaiʻi.
