A viral video has been circulating the internet claiming a tsunami of biblical proportions is possible. We spoke to tsunami expert, Dr. Dudley to filter out truth from fiction and assess what the actual risk is.

“I have my concerns… I think the odds at any moment are that it’s not going to happen, but it has happened in the past and it will happen again.”

Dr. Dudley answers these questions:

  • Could a volcanic explosion trigger a land slide & tsunami?
  • How possible is it the Hilina Slump could “break off”?
  • If a landslide occurs and triggers a tsunami, what is the travel time to the other islands?
  • When evacuating a tsunami zone, how high and how far inland is safe?
  • Are you worried?
