When a tsunami warning hit Honolulu during rush hour, traffic in dense neighborhoods like Kakaako ground to a halt—not because everyone was in danger, but because so many people evacuated unnecessarily. Residents, hotel workers, and even tourists all jumped in their cars, clogging roads for hours. Officials now say that 'over-evacuation' made things worse, and that many could have safely stayed put or walked to higher ground. This experience has folks asking: how can we better prepare and communicate next time, so only those truly at risk need to move? What would you do if a warning came through? #Transportation #Honolulu #Tsunami
