absolutely not! the warning gave me enough time to prepare and gather important items. when you have the ocean as your back yard, the early warnings are important.

I live in Hawaii and it was pretty scary. I'm wondering what all the hype is about this. I receive automated e-mails to my smart phone whenever there is a tsunami warning or watch. I got like 5 different e-mails throughout the whole event saying there was a 8.4 earthquake near Kiru I think it was... so over several hours 5 e-mails I'm wondering how they are saying that was a mistake... hmm.

It's better to issue a warning/watch and have people prepared for the worst than to not issue the warning/watch and have more than 200,000 swept away by a tsunami. Besides, reading the warning it pretty well indicated a tsunami hadn't been detected but warned residents in low lying areas to be prepared to move.

no, of course not. i think the hawaii residents were happy they got a warning. cause a long time ago there was a tsunami and they didn't have special warning reports so people ran through the streets saying there was a tsunami. sadly, it was april 1st. a.k.a. april fools day and no one believed them. so a bunch of people died. so it was a good idea someone warned them.

No, It's better to be safe than sorry.
