BREAKING NEWS: 30 MINUTES AGO – Chaos on Kauai as Tsunami Slams Shoreline While Mark Zuckerberg Caught on the Beach
Kauai, Hawaii — Panic. Chaos. Mystery. Just half an hour ago, the tranquil beaches of Kauai — home to some of the world’s most exclusive estates — erupted into sheer pandemonium as a tsunami, triggered by a catastrophic 8.7-magnitude earthquake off Kamchatka, began surging toward the Hawaiian islands.
And at the center of it all? None other than Meta CEO and billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, who was reportedly enjoying a rare morning on the sand when the warning sirens blared.
Witnesses Describe a Scene Straight Out of a Disaster Movie
“The ground shook first, like a deep, rolling rumble under our feet,” says Leilani Nakoa, a Kauai resident who had been walking her dog on the north shore just before the first warning went off. “Then we saw the ocean… it just started pulling back, like someone drained the bay. Everyone froze. Then someone yelled, ‘RUN!’ and people just scattered. And yes, I swear to God, I saw him — Mark Zuckerberg. No shirt, just board shorts, running with everyone else. He looked terrified.”
Videos now circulating on X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, though unverified, appear to show a man resembling Zuckerberg darting across the beach barefoot, glancing over his shoulder as the eerie sound of emergency sirens pierces the air. In one clip, he’s seen near a black SUV as security guards wave frantically, trying to usher him into the vehicle as the first walls of water begin to rise in the distance.
Ten-Foot Waves and Rising — But What Happened to Zuckerberg?
According to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC), the initial waves that struck Kauai’s north shore were between 8 and 10 feet high, with larger surges expected as the event continues to unfold. The center has warned that “waves could increase dramatically in size over the next hour, particularly in low-lying coastal areas.”
But the question everyone is asking: Where is Mark Zuckerberg?
Despite owning over 2,300 acres of land on Kauai — including a fortified estate with private security and emergency bunkers — there has been no confirmation that the billionaire tech mogul has made it back to safety.
One local fisherman told Pacific Daily Buzz that he saw “a group of people, including one who looked like Zuckerberg, heading toward a private access road just as the first waves hit. After that… nothing. Couldn’t see where they went. Couldn’t see if they made it.”
Locals Panic as the Tsunami Bears Down
Across Kauai, scenes of panic have gripped the island. Roads are clogged as residents flee to higher ground, gas stations are overwhelmed, and emergency shelters are filling up.
The iconic Hanalei Pier was reportedly inundated by the first surge, and parts of Hanalei town — just miles from Zuckerberg’s compound — are already flooded. The island’s emergency management agency has declared a full evacuation of coastal zones, urging everyone to get at least 30 feet above sea level immediately.
“It’s chaos,” says Kai Makani, a local surfer who has been helping people evacuate. “I’ve seen tourists abandon their rental cars in the middle of the road just to run uphill. No one knows how bad this will get. But seeing someone like Zuckerberg out there, looking just as scared as the rest of us… it’s surreal.”
Social Media Explodes: ‘Where’s Zuck?’
Within minutes of the tsunami striking, hashtags like #WhereIsZuck and #KauaiTsunami began trending worldwide. Speculation has gone wild — with some claiming the billionaire has taken refuge in one of his estate’s alleged “underground bunkers,” while others fear he may have been separated from his team during the scramble to escape the beach.
Adding fuel to the fire is a cryptic post from what appears to be one of Zuckerberg’s Kauai neighbors on Instagram:
“Saw the security convoy… but not him. Hope he made it. These waves aren’t stopping.”
Neither Zuckerberg nor Meta has issued a statement, and Hawaiian officials are remaining tight-lipped about whether all residents along the north shore have been accounted for.
Unanswered Questions as the Disaster Unfolds
Is Mark Zuckerberg safe?
Was his $100 million Kauai compound — often dubbed “The Fortress” by locals — hit by the first wave?
And with more waves predicted to strike throughout the evening, will parts of the north shore even be habitable by morning?
For now, one thing is certain: Kauai, and perhaps Hawaii as a whole, is facing a night of fear and uncertainty as nature unleashes its fury.
We will continue to update this story as new details emerge — including any word on the fate of one of the world’s most powerful tech figures, who may now be caught in one of the most terrifying natural disasters of the decade.
