Activity there in hilo bay. we're keeping that camera live for you so that you can be as informed as we are. we want to keep you up to date. and once again, this is the latest technology that is helping us bring you information. this is called skype. it includes using a telephone and a computer to send us a signal of what's happening in real time in hilo. >> i don't know if can you hear me, we received some information. >> go ahead, mark. >> reporter: we just received information over some of people walking by and some bystanders say that there is a change in water receding. there is also rece...

Out before the wave came in. that may have dragged a lot of mud on the first initial pullout there. and you just have slushing of the water going around within the river there in hilo. again, paul drew is reporting for us from hilo bay. we're seeing some action, some changes in the current there on the hilo bay front. >> what are the results of the disaster tsunami that hit southeast asia a few years ago is that the word tsunami became a household word. and a lot of people who are not exposed to this learned a little bit more about the pacific and our currents and the destruction. so as we sai...
