Can a tsunami hit Hawaii?

Yes, a tsunami can hit Hawaii. Hawaii is just located right in the open Pacific Ocean. About 68% of the world's earthquakes and 80% of the world's tsunamis occur there. Hawaii has been hit by many tsunamis in the past. Tsunamis occur most often along countries which border the Pacific "Rim of Fire", or "Ring of Fire'. One end of this region of high sesmic and volcanic activity begins at New Zealand, heading northwest to Indonesia (completely bypassing Australia) and then west to Papua New Guinea and Indonesia, northeast along the Asian coastline, east to North America and then south along the western North American coastline. Roughly horse-shoe shaped, the Ring of Fire extends about 40,000km long, and tsunamis can be generated anywhere along this rim. Hawaii lies right within this path, as witnessed by the volcanic activity on the islands.
