Tsunamis

Tsunamis are a big threat to Hawaiians, but they are predictable. Each town has a tsunami siren that is tested once per month. If a tsunami was heading toward the island, the locals would be advised to evacuate the mountain. As they have the tallest mountain in the world, there is a sure chance of survival as long as you make it to safety.

“Wait a minute… isn’t Mt. Everest the tallest mountain in the world?”

While it is true that the peak of Mt. Everest is the highest point above sea level, from base to peak the tallest mountain on Earth actually goes to Mauna Kea. Though the base of the mountain is submerged, it is technically the tallest mountain in the world.
