The video here shows that the transients from all the Tsunami wave effects had not yet died out and were still very much ongoing.

Throughout my recent travels abroad, I have looked forward to my next Kalalau journey. Anticipating minimal employment and ideal summer weather, I dreamt of a week long camping trip, but little did I know I'd be thrown right into a relatively busy work schedule. Finally, a date was picked for a three day weekend Kalalau trip, but as the date approached, it became an inconvenient time for almost everybody who had talked about possibly going.
