Aloha Everyone,
Well, the 8.8 earthquake in Chili has set off tsunami warnings all over the Pacific ocean. Here in Hawaii we are under an evacuation order from Civil Defense to move to higher ground. Since we are at sea level it’s a quick scramble to grab a few things like my passport, water, and some energy bars to ride it out on the mountain.  I have moved just about everything that could slam into my house and now I am about to turn off the gas, the water and the electricity. The wave(s) should hit Hilo in about 2 1/2 hours and it’s forecast to hit Oahu 30 minutes later. The thing about tsunamis is that they wrap around land masses and are unpredictable.  So,  even though this thing is tracking from the SE and moving NW there is no “safe” place to be except up. So, I will be shutting it down now and moving up the mountain to watch.
Aloha,
Jamie
