I'm watching the feed from Hawaii News Now and they have a steady shot looking over Hilo Bay and the water is definitely receding. Here is the link that I'm using - http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/Global/cat ... menu55_1_1

Re: 8.8 Earthquake in Chile, Tsunami WARNING/Watch Posted
Reports that the Wialoa(sp) River in Hilo has now gone from being almost out of its banks with mud etc. flowing in to everything now flowing back out to the ocean as well as discoloration out at the breakwater at Hilo. Some are reporting a definite receding of waters along the beaches, but don't know how reliable those reports are especially since it is low tide there.
