Tsunami Progress

We are watching a live cam from Hilo Bay on local TV. We can see changes in the water level happening before our eyes! Hilo lost life and property in 1946 and 1960 and take it seriously. We are seeing drastic, unusual changes minute to minute now. There is turbulence as the ebb and flow continue: in and out. Hilo is not out of the high water yet. The event here but not over. The wave should reach us here in Waikiki later. The mountain roads above town are full of parked cars watching the sea. The elevators in this building are off and people are being asked to stay above the 6th floor. Updates as we receive them here in Waikiki beach.

Aloha, Cloudia

Baruch Hashem. I am so relieved that you are safe, high up, and not out to sea.

It's very nice to get news from a blogging friend. I hope that you and yours remain safe.

The day after the earthbreak in Chili we got a very strong windstorm over the country and especially on the west cost. A lot of towns are under the water and this event killed almost fifty persons.
I heard a tzunami got the Japan and I hope there is nothing in your beautiful Island.
Aloha, Cloudia !
