Really? I heard the exact opposite. Hilo really didnʻt get much at all. Kona got hit fairly hard (or so CNN keeps reporting, I loved the one about the extensive damage on "kona island"). There is quite a bit of damage, with many businesses gutted with water, and their belongings strewn all over the road. The road was closed for a while as they tried to clean up debris and such as well.
This is the reason I like to live in the middle somewhere-- out of the evacuation zone and not too close to any volcano, lest a new one erupt... 
Iʻm concerned for stitchawl though-- has he contacted anyone yet? I have a friend in Japan who suffered some serious injury, but was luckily out of the tsunamiʻs path. The footage is breathtaking and horrible. |
Good to see your OK Grace; for the record what really went down over there? Not what CNN or Joe Moore reported. Over here on O`ahu, we had some roads closed during the actual tsunami watch as a precaution, and a little damage to some boats and at some of the marinas.
All State and County workers were off and all but one of the schools were closed, but it was a furlough day anyway. My trash didn't get picked up until Saturday.
KHVH reported that all Federal workers (me) were "encouraged to stay home", but I was almost at work when I heard that so I went ahead and went in anyway. Lucky for me, ‘cause it was a figment of someone’s imagination. We had one man who didn’t show up, and he got into a little trouble.
