I'm okay. My ICQ, twitter & pms are just getting too much so will post here.
I live in the center of Oahu in a little mountain town called Wahiawa, almost 1k feet above sea level (not 2k). I have family coming up from shore areas... places like Waianae, Waialua, Haleiwa & Waimanalo. People are not being silly about this.
I dunno how long will keep internet, blackberry & other stuff going - if our main power facility gets damaged I'll go offline (obviously). Just know, I'm good and as my vastly extended family starts to show up, I'll be responding less but we have survived all kinds of things... we will survive this.
We are so concerned in Hawaii because the last major Chile 'quake in 1960 seriously damaged Hilo on the Big Island and an Aleutian Island earthquake in 1946 wiped out entire villages.
Evacuations on all islands are underway, and roads are already closing to prevent movement. Boats are going out to sea, homeless living on beaches are being shuffled inland. We have plenty of time... ETA for the event is about 11:05am HST for the Big Island... and then we'll know for sure what we are dealing with. About a half hour after the Big Island is hit, Oahu (where I live) will be hit.
If I lose internet, I still have my uber blackberry to tweet with. If anyone is curious or just wants to know "first hand", by twitter handle is lesszoa.
Thank you everyone...
Just FYI - is not just Hawaii that will be getting tsunami... anything north of Chile (Tijuana, Baja Cali) and out toward Australia (Easter Island, Micronesia) will be experiencing the effects.
