HONOLULU (AP) - A study by a federal agency found there is little risk a destructive tsunami would hit the inside of Pearl Harbor, bolstering the agency's case for moving a tsunami warning center there.
The study showed the area would suffer only a "minor inundation" from a tsunami, even under a worst-case scenario, the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration said Friday.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center is currently located in the West Oahu coastal community of Ewa Beach. NOAA plans to consolidate its facilities in Hawaii, including the tsunami center, to Ford Island, a Navy complex within the harbor.
