Hi there,
The Civil defense officials reported the tsunami warning for Hawaii was canceled shortly before 1:45 p.m. Saturday.
The state's highest wave was reported at Kahului Harbor, measuring 3.2 feet.
There were no immediate reports of damage from the multiple surges that rolled into Maui County shorelines around noon.
Ocean users were warned to avoid entering the water in the following areas due to possible sewage contamination: the north shore, from Kuau to Waiehu; the south shore from Wailea to Sugar Beach; and West Maui from Puamana to Kapalua.
Maui County officials were restarting water and sewer facilities that had been shut down in low-lying areas ahead of the tsunami. They said residents would be able to resume their use of water and sewer services around 3 p.m., once the facilities were fully operational, but should continue to limit use until then.
Residents were also asked to continue conserving electricity until 4 p.m., while Maui Electric Company brings its Kahului power station back online.
Coastal roads, including the Kahului Airport access road, were reopened as of 1:50 p.m., and the Maui Bus was resuming regular service.
County spokeswoman Mahina Martin said flights out of Kahului Airport were reported to be back on schedule, after several flights were delayed earlier in the day.
Makena State Park and Ahihi Kinau Natural Area Reserve remained closed; however, Wainapanapa State Park in Hana was reopened.
County beach parks remained closed until officials could make an assessment of conditions, Martin said.
Waiehu Municipal Golf Course was scheduled to reopen on Sunday.
All landfills on Maui remained closed Saturday, while landfills on Molokai and Lanai were open.
At lookouts in Wailuku, observers could see the water level dropping in Kahului Harbor, followed by a surge that sent a line of whitewater up the harbor beach. A cloud of silt was visible in the harbor and grew larger with the subsequent surges, and observers saw choppy "boiling" water near the harbor mouth.
Aloha,
Andrea
