| Description |
Hilo Bay is a large bay located on the eastern coast of the island of Hawaiʻi.The modern town of Hilo, Hawaii overlooks Hilo Bay. North of the bay runs the Hamakua Coast on the slopes of Mauna Kea, and south of the bay is the Puna district on the slopes of Mauna Loa. The area just inland from the bay is the Hilo district, divided into north and south Hilo within the County of Hawaii. Banyan Drive runs through Liliʻuokalani Gardens near downtown Hilo at the edge of the bay. Hilo Bay is sometimes called "the tsunami capital of the United States". The bay's topography steers tsunamis to Hilo from earthquakes in active areas such as Chile and the Aleutian Islands. The April 1, 1946 tsunami from the 1946 Aleutian Islands earthquake killed 96 people on Hilo bay. May 20, 1960, a tsunami originating from the 1960 Valdivia earthquake in Chile killed 61 people in Hilo. After the February 27, 2010 Chile earthquake, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center caused sirens to sound and evacuations were ordered, but there were no injuries. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilo_Bay en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_... |
