I was surprised; Hawaii actually didn't get it too bad. There were some surges of water on the coast but no casualties I think. As for the coastline of California and southern Oregon, I heard there was one guy who died when the tsunami swept his car away (or was that news about the Eastern U.S. flooding? I don't remember now. Dx ), and possibly one or two other casualties, but mostly the problem there is destruction of boats/docks/etc.
