Tsunami The 1946 Hilo Wave Of Terror

What began as rippling waves off the Alaskan coast ended as a fearsome, towering wall of water that swallowed the small town of Hilo, Hawaii. In Tsunami! The 1946 Hilo Wave of Terror, readers will journey to this lush, tropical island to meet neighbors and friends as they prepared for school, work, and daily activities just moments before a crashing wave of terror swallowed their homes-and lives. With the benefit of gripping four-color photos, maps, and a diagram of tsunami formation, students will discover the causes of tsunamis, and learn about advances in warning and safety procedures since the Hilo disaster.Ingram, Scott is the author of 'Tsunami The 1946 Hilo Wave Of Terror', published 2005 under ISBN 9781597160100 and ISBN 1597160105.
