Between Kalapana and the sea, the Hakuma horst directed the advancing flow east, right into the heart of the community (+ symbol marks the east end of the fault scarp).

  Kalapana tsunami, 1975   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Simulation results for the tsunami from the magnitude 7.2 Kalapana event of 1975.
Treating this event as a simple magnitude 7.2 earthquake with the geodetically-measured slip of the 1975 event is inadequate to explain either the runup along the coast or Hilo tide gauge recording.
Correcting for the miscalibration increases the magnitude of the Kalapana earthquake to 7.6.
