Tsunami

Hi all. This is my best effort to get information out to all of you as phone lines are very tied up now. David did start getting calls around 3 am about the approaching tsunami and left for work around 5. I don't know what this means for the ships, haven't heard from him since. Pearl Harbor is somewhat protected but I don't know how it is designed to handle the swell they are expecting.

What I do know: I am not in an evacuation zone

I have a backyard full of tables, chairs and coolers

My caterer is in an evacuation zone

If people show up here at 3 for a party (big if at this point) I will not have food :)

Grocery stores are limiting us to purchasing only 2 cases of spam (that's what Hawaiians do when things get tough...they buy spam!)

That's all I know for now. They are expecting to see the first action on the Big Island around 11 am PST. I assume we will get more information as that hour approaches.
