In the same 2014 study led by Butler, researchers simulated the tsunami from a 9.25 earthquake in the eastern Aleutian Islands, west of the 1946 earthquake rupture. The rupture area is 100 km by 600 km with an average slip of 35 meters on the megathrust. Their model was found to be sufficient enough to inundate the sinkhole. Along the Pacific Northwest coast, the tsunami measured a maximum of 9 meters while the mean height was 3.5 meters. The orientation of the megathrust with respect to the Hawaiian Islands allowed for much directivity of the tsunami energy. The results of the model did not rule out the possibility of other distant tsunami source locations. However, such events would have to greatly exceed the fault slip seen in other historically large events.
