Called the Mauian Hotel, since they basically directly face Japan. Nani answered the phone and indicated that they did not experience any detectable surge at all (as of 8:30 AM Maui time).
I guess having Lanai and Molokai blocking some of the direct waves helped a lot in this case.
Those of you who come out to the Mauian in June may be interested to find out if the Mauian (or another Napili Hotel) was damaged (or not).

Aloha e Lawrence,
Actually, tsunami waves can have a wrap-around nature and affect all sides of an island.
Being T.V.-free and on high ground, Melinda and I had no idea of the tsunami until we set out early Friday morning to head up to Georgeʻs farm and cut the citrus air-layers I did. We kept finding our intended path blocked by police cars. We pulled into Krispy Kreme in Kahului (it was to be our first evah time to try it), and it, like most businesses, was closed. Melinda opened the Maui News, and we put it together. We couldnʻt get to Georgeʻs because of all the debris on the roads, so headed back home. We found Mana Foods open, and it was probably the onliest time we had an easy time parking in Paia.
The weirdest thing we heard of- one big honu was found on Alamaha, in the middle of Kahului.
Weʻre thinking of filling glass bottles with mud and seaweed- wanna be the first to buy one of our "Tsunami Debris Bottles"? |

Tsunami did not affect Mauian Hotel.
