So Japan just had a huge 8.9 earth quake! Huge wave and devistation. So now here we sit, me and my family waiting to see if these waves hit our islands! Guess I better go and start getting prepared. Btw, it is 10:01 pm. Here.

So far Hawaii is fairly ok. The water did make it inland about a third of a mile. Wave were estimated to be between 9 to 6 foot. Our island is still feeling the waves in Kailua Kona. Major damage in that town. The coastal road is destroyed along with businesses under about 1 TO 2 feet of water. All in all we faired ok. Civil defense is still working too get numbers and total damages at this time. People told me in Kona that the waves came in about 15 times.
As far as a 6 foot wave doing damage, well it is not like a wind driven wave. A whole column of water rushes inland. Kona on usual gets hit with 10 foot wind driven waves daily and does nothing. This set of waves took out the break wall and ripped up asphalt road along the harbor.
We are far enough up that we are safe. Civil defense had cleared coastal tsunami areas by 2 am this morning. So most took it seriously here and we made it with out to much trauma. However now come the clean up!
