Aloha Dave!

Meant to get back to you yesterday. Just to damn tired after spending the night in my Jeep.

Other than Kailua-Kona, seems that Crescent City and parts of Oregon got the worst damage from the tsunami that hit us and the mainland but that's less than minor compared to what happened in Japan.

We had plenty of early warning, they didn't.

Now after a night's sleep and access to news over the internet and some over cable news, the scope of the damage in Japan (outside of Tokyo) tremendous. The local radio news that was available while I was camped out was dismal, even to the point of recent updates on the situation that were four and five hours old.....reruns. Out going cell phone usage was discouraged, so I complied, but incoming calls from the mainland were ok and the best source of news for ten hours came from family calling to check on me. All in all, you were better informed than I was for a period of time.

Good to hear that you are okay.

Speaking of Crescent city, Fish Hawk sent me this You Tube link:
