The images from northeast Japan are horrific. The destruction and potential for loss of life are intense. I believe the Japanese have had to deal with earthquakes and tsunami for a very long time and hope this helped to preserve life despite these severe events.
The first waves are predicted to arrive in Hawaii within the half hour. The amplitude of the waves from the tsunami arriving are unknown but estimated to be 3 to 6 ft. or less. With luck it will be a lot less as a six foot wave could cause serious damage. I understand it was 13 ft. in parts of northeastern Japan. The wave sensors in deep water recorded the tsunami at 2 to 3 ft. approaching Hawaii with the potential for building in height in shallow and confined waters.
