Tsunami Effects: Waikiki Harbor

Warm Aloha Greetings!

Thank YOU for your compassionate comments-
A new day arises. . .

"Bear and endure:
This sorrow will one day prove
to be for your
good."

Ovid





"Words have the power to both destroy and heal.
When words are both true and kind,
they can change our world."

 Buddha


 

 

"Neither fire nor wind, birth nor death
can erase our good deeds.
You only lose what you cling to.
Fill your mind with compassion."

 Buddha
 
Here is some video that I shot of weird flows in our protected harbor:





This shows the effects on our boat:







Here are more views of the Hawaii damage:

Thanks so much for sharing the videos. The music was so beautiful and touching.
We were so worried about the islands....in the midst of it all there is much to be thankful for!
Wishing you all a speedy and safe cleanup process....

So glad you and all other inhabitants of Hawaii are okay. Heart-wrenching to see what is continuing to happen in Japan. Take care dear Cloudia

I am amazed at how you're able to make a life on a boat. It does sound really scary whenever there's a tsunami warning. To think my son was NOT thrilled when he learned we were going to be living inland instead of near the beach so he could surf whenever he wanted. He's changed his mind since.

Cloudia...What an experience. Are you back on your boat now? I sure hope that you can get back to whatever is "normal." This whole thing has been devastating to so many.
Be safe....

Mahalo for the scenes and tunes. (Part 2 didn't work on my system...) That looks like a big drop on the pier. Has it risen back up now? DrumMajor

I am still sad today even though I have been in class teaching the whole days; we all should take time off. Please be safe !

Commander Zaius said...

Just think, some Hollywood producer is probably shopping around for stories for a movie. What actress would you want to be cast as you?

Glad you and yours are safe!

Feisty Crone said...

so glad you are safe, dear Cloudia. I needed to read Buddha's words tonight also. Aloha.

Windsmoke. said...

Those video's are fantastic especially the rising of the sea water in the harbour. Makes you stop and think about the power of mother nature, stay safe Cloudia :-).

Akelamalu said...

Thank goodness you're safe Cloudia. x

Love the quote by Buddha! Stay happy, Cloudy!

The recent events seems to draw us all together, worried for all that suffer from this earthquake.

Don't freak out and move back to Philly.

Junosmom said...

Arg, I have two accounts now. I'll have to be more watchful of my sign in name.

Bitch said...

My thoughts are with you!

Daryl said...

So glad that the extent of the damage is limited ..

There is a proverb that says the power of life and death is in the tongue. Thanks for stopping by with your signature fishies! Those are great.And glad to hear people are okay on the islands. We have friends in Maui and were happy to hear when they called that they were spared any real damage and deaths.

Sailor said...

Glad to know that you are safe. Hey, by the way, is your post still linked up in NB? I did't see it for few days. May be I just missed it.

Teresa said...

I am so glad that you're safe. I just read your book. If something gets to you, I think it must be really harrowing. Hang in there.

Pietro Brosio said...

Thanks for shaing these videos, the quotes and the pictures, they are all very significant. I'm glad you are well.

Full-On-Forward said...

WOW!!! How do you tie up for that??? Prayers ALWAYS riding the tides to you from us!

HFTEC,

John

Brother Tobias said...

Saw some quite hairy video of the wave impact in Hawaii, and worried for you guys. So glad all is (relatively) well, and that you haven't lost your creative impulse.
