Hurricane? Are You Doing Anything?

[DennisW]

I'm glad you folks just got a little blow with some rain. It could have been much worse.

I know you are right

has anybody thought about what a "bad case scenario" would mean for them?

What would really happen? No food in the stores for....like how long, realistically?

cause we don't need AC, have water, have high places to get to...can walk most places

what would really happen exactly? (if it was bad)

Yes, I have thought about it. We had some really dire predicitions immediatley after Ivan, which thankfully didn't come to pass. Watching the aftermath of Katrina was horrifying (and not just in New Orleans- all along the Mississippi Gulf Coast as well).

Glad it was a false alarm. Now do you feel ready for the next time??? ML you can send the kitties to WI next time...

Well, the flight in was fairly smooth. Just a little lumpy before the landing. Although I have to say that I'm not a big fan of Enya playing while we were on approach. Kind of had that feeling that you died and were ascending.

We're not out of the woods yet. Now we're under a Tsunami advisory! Glad my house is in the hills. Though the boat is a concern!

Really?

Where are you getting this info?

Honolulu Advertiser website and Honolulu Star Bulletin websites. Yahoo home page.

There was a 7.9 magnitude quake in Peru.

From Yahoo:

The Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a tsunami warning for the coasts of Peru, Chile, Ecuador and Colombia, and a tsunami watch from Panama to Mexico.
It also issued a tsunami advisory for the U.S. state of Hawaii.

Perhaps NOAA is a little too busy right now alerting the more mainstream news mediums to deal with updating their website.

The Honolulu Advertiser's now reporting the cancellation also. Good! I'm a little weary of impending doom! When I first read about the advisory, my first thought was, "Oh crap! I don't really feel up to getting the boat out to sea!
