	1957 Aleutian Tsunami
		As was the case with tsunami of 1946, the Aleutian Islands shielded the Alaskan mainland from the effects of the tsunami.
		The damage caused by the tsunami to the Hawaiian Islands as a whole was also less than that of 1946, due to the fact that in general, the 1957 tsunami waves were smaller than those of 1946, especially at densely populated areas such as the city of Hilo.
		Damage to the island of Kauai, where the tsunami runup reached 32 feet above sea level, was greater than that produced by the 1946 tsunami.
