Prayers for all the victims of the earthquakes and aftershocks, and tsunami activity in the Pacific area throughout today and following. The cleanup and restoral will be a chore, but the loss of life is very saddening.
Prayers for the survivors will aid.

Re: Prayers for

Hi
Alex, PY2WAS is in Hawaii now, and has written saying that there were no major
problems there.
Let's hope everyone is safe, especially the SP's at T30, that is only 2m above sea
level.

Re: Prayers for

Hi All,

I can confirm PY2WAS's report. There were areas where there was respectable tsunami activity around the islands, but interestingly it varied greatly from beach to beach and cove to cove. There doesn't not seem to have been any major problems, thank God.

As we live on Kauai, only a mere 1000 feet from a west-facing beach and at a whopping 10 feet of elevation, the XYL and I grabbed our valuables and our emergency kit, and headed for higher ground. We spent the night parked along side the road at some elevation, listening to the radio for the all-clear, which came some time around 7:30 to 8:00 AM locally. As it turns out, it does not appear that the water ever got above the berm separating the beach from the state highway (something that a good high tide and modest waves is capable of doing on a regular basis).

It was at most an inconvenience for us here in Hawaii, but that was all. In fact, we saw families and groups of families at various points along the road headed "up" that had tents and barbeques and looked like they were having fun camping out (if ya get lemons, make lemonade).

Absolutely *nothing* like the beating Japan took. Along with everyone else, our thoughts and prayers do indeed go to Japan and everyone there that has been so impacted by this event, holding the space and intent for them to recover, heal, and return to some better level of normalcy.

If there can be a silver lining to something like this, it is that we all got a real-life chance to test our emergency preparedness. For us it was a tsunami. For you it could be something else. Make sure you have a plan and all the necessary provisions.

73,

In reply to this post by daleputnam

The sightsee'ers are the ones that often are casualties, sadly.

We live 125-feet ASL on the west coast of the Kenai Peninsula and
about 2-miles inland from Cook Inlet (a 30 mile wide by 200-mile bay
off the north pacific ocean. Tsunami can move up the inlet. Between
us and the shore is a small oil refinery (one of two in Alaska) and a
moth-balled fertilizer plant and the LNG plant (which is closing due
to lack of natural gas feedstock). This directly an effect of the
delays imposed on building a gas pipeline from Prudhoe Bay
(regulatory delays prompted by the environmental community).

My wife has a good friend and former classmate that live in Reedsport
down the coast from you. My wife graduated Seaside HS in 1960.

The same here on the Oregon coast. Probably the worst of it was being
awakened in the predawn hours by the prolonged wail of warning sirens
throughout the area..

The coastline is rugged here with lots of safe areas within a short walk or
drive. At 100 feet above the waves, our home is in one of those areas.

The biggest problem seems to have been automobile traffic. Not people
evacuating, but people from inland rushing to the coast to stand on the
beach watching for the waves.

I'm afraid that someday they'll get their wish, and wish they hadn't.
