Terror?
Sit on the lanai and drink a Blue Hawaiian. Wait for the flash.
Be sure to wear your solar eclipse glasses.
Yep, my daughter and six grandchildren still live in Hawaii. I talked to her that morning. The older kids 12, 11, 9 asked her what was going to happen. My daughter told them matter-of-factly that if it were true there was nothing they cold do and they could possibly die. The kids accepted that rather calmly.
Oh for crying out loud.
When I was young, we all worried about nuclear blasts.
I’d tell my high school girlfriend in the cab of the pickup,
“Come on! Let’s do it! A nuclear bomb might go off tomorrow!”
And then there would be a flash of light from her father’s flashlight and I thought I was dead.
Up close, a shotgun can be as scary as an a-bomb.
