episode_narrativeA stationary storm over the northeast Pacific centered 1,200 miles north-northeast of Hawaii, generated large north swells that caused high surf and surges for Hilo Harbor. The U.S.C.G. Cutter Kiska sustained $100,000 in damage while moored in the Radio Bay area of Hilo Harbor. According to the commanding officer, extreme surging action developed as large waves filled the mooring area. Wave heights of 15 to 20 feet occurred outside Hilo Harbor and 6 to 10 feet inside the harbor. Ocean front streets were closed in Hilo and several lower units of a condominium were flooded in Keaukaha, 3 miles southeast of Hilo. Cars were damaged in the flooded parking lots of two condominium buildings.
