You have to pick:

Hawaii is an island doomed to be sunk at the slightest raise in water level. Alaska it is.

Mauna Kea's elevation is 4,200 meters, I don't think Hawaii is in danger of slipping beneath the waves any time soon. :)

We'd have ten years to dig whale-bunkers and reinforce the roofs of our bigger, tougher buildings to survive the whale rain. Bad, but not unsurvivable. And we'll have a lot of whale meat to subsist on while waiting for the ecology to recover (we'll have to stockpile preservatives and the equipment for making whale jerky, or mine the vast deposit of frozen whale meat that would cover the Antarctic).

I was discussing this with some friends and one argued that the kinetic energy of that many whales hitting the earth at terminal velocity would be worse than a meteorite. It would cause tectonic shifts, volcanic eruptions (including the Yellowstone supervolcano) and a huge dust cloud that would create an unsurvivable nuclear winter.
