4. Just 31 inches, I hope that's good news for the rest of the Pacific.

It will be 8 AM Eastern time when it hits Hawaii at 3 AM their time. Maybe we'll get reports from Wake and Midway before then.

Edit:

Wake Island has 1.6-foot tsunami

Coastal gauges at Wake Island and Saipan showed arriving wave heights of about 1.6 feet and 2.5 feet respectively, said Pacific Tsunami Warning Center geophysicist Gerard Fryer.

For Hawaii, that means, so far, "it looks like the largest waves, in Haleiwa and Hilo, will be about 2 meters (more than 6 feet)," Fryer said.

Edit: National Weather Service says tsunami wave measured at Midway Island is 2.5 meters (8.2 feet).
