You may have heard about Hawaii's impending tsunami at some point today- i started hearing about it at 5.30am - a half hour before the sirens whined out an eery statewide rise and shine. Because of some such measures, we had to take it more seriously than a standard warning... so we all headed upcountry for the morning, before the highways were closed at 10am. Probably the worst damage sustained was my slight sunburn- as i spent some portion of the day perched atop a pickup truck surf rack, watching the ocean from a high bluff with some friends. Not a whole lot else to do honestly, with everything closed up and all... just watch the ocean and talk story.
Thanks for everyone that prayed for us- all of us out here are grateful there was no real emergency (only a little irregular surf), even if we complain about having had to go through the motions for nothing.
We are all very glad that it turned out to be a not-so-nami, after all.
