I forgot to put these clips of the withdrawal and surge of the largest wave I filmed during the Feb, 2010 tsunami in Hilo. It’s not dramatically different than the other waves, but it covers up almost all of the rocks on Maui’s paddle (the rocky area in the Wailuku River). The water covered up one rock that was a foot taller than me when I went swimming in this same area a few weeks ago, so I know the water rose at least 7ft.
