Nothing like being evacuated from the beach

It was a gorgeous afternoon. Just set up camp on a remote beach, watched the sunset and ate an awsome meal. 3 (maybe 5) beers later we get word of the tsunami warning. Scrambled to break camp and get the hell out of there...
We're getting good at this (2 yrs in a row)

Real glad that you guys missed the big hit today.

We definatley dodged a (another) bullet. Same thing happened a year ago.

I hear Lahaina wasn't that lucky

Glad you and yours are ok.... ~Alan

Bill, glad you guys are okay.

I heard one whole town in CA was evacuated - Central City, or something like that. Glad you're all ok.

Not sure, but probably Cresent City in northern Calif. They have been hit by tsunamis in the past.

12/21/12?

WHAT ABOUT OUR BUDDY IN MAUI WITH THE SAS

After reflecting on the events today, my heart goes out to the real victums. Life can be lost so quickly.

WHAT ABOUT OUR BUDDY IN MAUI WITH THE SAS


High and dry, Gerd. I'm at 130 ft elevation. But the beach accross where you, Vince and your right seaters stayed was closed because the waves washed up onto the street. The sand volleyball court was flooded. Youtube has a lot of video. Type in "the Cove Tsunami" or "Kalama Park Tsunami" to get an idea of the waves.Also type in Lahaina Tsunami.They said the waves went right through the fisrt floor of Cheeseburgers in Paradise on Front Street. No shortage of idiots ignoring the warnings so they can get their video on Youtube!! There's still a lot of debris on the roads so I'm not driving the Opihi until it all gets cleaned off. But it wasn't very severe just a little wet and minor damage. Some on the Big Island lost their houses.

Wasted half hour lookin for live footage on Maui. Silly tidal surge.
