| | The 1960 Tsunami, Hilo |
 | | This tsunami caused little damage elsewhere in the islands, but the Hilo Bay area was hard hit. |
 | | This fact contributed to many deaths in Hilo in 1960, because people remained in the Waiakea peninsula area, which had minimal damage during the even larger 1946 tsunami. |
 | | Other tsunami have been generated by distant earthquakes in 1896, 1901, 1906, 1919, 1922, 1923, two in 1927, 1928, 1929, 1931, 1938, 1944, 1952, and 1964, but the waves were too small to cause damage here. |
