Hope the birth certificate survives the waves...
The solution to everyone's problems seem to be to head to higher ground.
These people are waiting to get it together to find out where the evacuation centers are.
The hosts are saying it's possible it will generate a HILO quake, like before.

All the more reason to protect our internet access I say, because if its Federalized we would be uninformed, as they want us to be.
My sister in law just arrived in Hawaii yesterday for vacation. She’s staying at a yurt thing on some beach away from civilization.
Been trying to call her but since it’s only 6am she probably isn’t awake yet and her phone may not work where she is anyways.
I just got this freepmail from Jack, aka Big Look:
“Thanks Dave, packing a few things now, evacuation begins around 0600. Got a lot of conflicting reports on wave size but the evac is a go.”
Prayers up for our Freepers, Big Look, Fish Hawk and others and the people in Hawaii.
The sirens should be activated right about now in Hawaii.
Without getting overly geeky on you, the “bending” property of waves is part of how the wave/particle duality of light was discovered and sorted out.
I just read a post on another site by someone who is in Hawaii that the alarms are sounding now.
They are, you can hear them in the background on a CNN report.
CNN is showing live from Hawaii right now, the sirens are sounding for evacuation.
People are looking outside, its still dark there.
Sirens going off NOW...listening/watching on KHNL TV online.
How frightening would it be to awake to the sounds of those sirens, not knowing what has taken place while you slept?
Oh gosh yes...
I would think everyone has heard them before during testing, being a tourist destination they will want things organized, going to be a busy day for the next 5 hours I think.
It’s good to have a big warning on something like this. Long ago, they would have had no idea what was coming.
Thanks fyi.
I was going to ping you re Big Look’s message.
