When in Hilo, you must make the time to visit the small but important Pacific Tsunami Museum at 130 Kamehameha Ave. A tsunami is defined as "a long high sea wave caused by an earthquake, submarine landslide, or other disturbance." |

The resulting destructive waves are often violent and can cause death and major damage. The town and people of Hilo have lived through the full force of two terrifying and memorable tsunamis in the twentieth century. |
