My sister and her husband in Kailua-Kona are okay. Apparently a lot of water. I quote: "It appears that Alii Drive was under water to a depth of several feet and well back across the road. The pier was completely covered and the King Kam has a foot of water in the lobby. Reports of homes in Kealekekua Bay ripped off their foundations and floating in the bay." Didn't affect them directly, their home is well up on a mountain, but they are concerned about some folks they know.
Youtube time-lapse photography someone took of the surges there:
