Today a senior Pyongyang diplomat warned that the “most powerful detonation of an H-bomb in the Pacific” is on its way. If the test goes ahead as expected, it would be the first atmospheric nuclear blast in the Pacific for almost 30 years.
Hawaii is not taking any chances.
Even though capabilities for air raid sirens in Hawaii have been in place since WWII, they have not been used since. These sirens will be tested in November throughout the state of Hawaii.
What should residents expect?
I spoke to two Hawaiian residents today.
One woman said “It’s kinda freaky. We are wondering if we have enough food and water, and if we would be safe if North Korea sent an ICBM our way. We just don’t know. I mean, would we even survive a nuclear attack?”
Another resident said “It’s a bit unnerving. I should just stop watching the news, because all it does is scare me and my family. I mean, are we really going to be nuked by North Korea? That’s insane! I know that they have one crazy leader, and I don’t trust him at all.” referring to Kim Jong Un, leader of North Korea.
The residents I spoke with don’t own a radio, so I suggested they get one today. I have one myself, a wind up, solar CCrane, in the event they need to connect.
Does Hawaii have something to fear when it comes to North Korea’s threats of a nuclear attack?
For one, there is little evidence to support that North Korea has developed a guidance system to ensure an accurate strike, or the re-entry technology to bring an intercontinental ballistic missile back down to hit its target. We’ve all witnessed these failed attempts in 2016 and 2017.
On the other hand, North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has been extremely vocal on the matter. Keep in mind that the U.S. has more than 28,000 US military personnel based in South Korea, and another 40,000 in Japan. These numbers don’t include a large military base in Guam, a US territory off the Philippines. The North has threatened them all. “December 2012’s missile launch, the International Institute for Strategic Studies said, proved that North Korea has something that can hit American shores but it said that any “functioning nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missile is still at least several years away”.
State officials are postulating a possible 15-kiloton North Korean nuclear device detonated 1,000 feet above Honolulu, which would be survivable for the vast majority of the state’s residents. For comparison, the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945 also was 15 kilotons.

Since atomic and nuclear detonations are fake, they have nothing to fear except perhaps a dirty bomb. But even then as Hiroshima and Nakasaki (both victims of firebombing raids and subsequent pollution of radioactive materials) prove, even a ditry bomb does not do the long term environemental damage we have all been brainwashed with for several generations.
