A Hawaiian narrative story involving the wrath of two deities has helped scientists monitor down remnants of an 8-metre-high tsunami that battered the state’s second largest island, Maui, at the very least 350 years in the past.
“Our work breathes new life into an historic moʻolelo [a story passed down in folklore], placing flesh on the bones of a big historic occasion,” says Scott Fisher on the College of Southampton, UK.
