How Was Your Tsunami Day?

So how did your tsunami warning day go? Lively is my say. Luckily, nothing significant occurred for Hawaii but still the day was filled with anticipation as the first projected wave was to hit the islands. Our familu was glued to the television news all morning, watching the traffic cams and hearing the typical outrageous stories that accompany these types of events.

While we didn’t have to venture out of the house, the Kailua area had its share of those getting supplies and gas. We had water and batteries from a recent run to Costco and yes, we even had a hand powered radio from a Christmas grab bag (I think). So it was a wait and see for most of the day. Had there been no tsunami warning, I would have been at Unconferenz 2010.

I wonder what the reaction on Oahu would have been if there were a sizable tsunami hitting Hilo? Sure, there’s nothing you could do at that point, but I do wonder what pandemonium would have ensued. Fortunately, we won’t know.

One bright spot of the day was a rare win for the UH Men’s Basketball team. Already in the cellar of the WAC, UH beat Nevada who’s near the top of the WAC standings. Must be all the excitement and adrenaline from the day carried over to the Bows’ performance.

How did your day go?
