IN VINO VERITAS
I know this is not the right place to put this but one of our own is right in the middle of this. UPSLifer.
To All,
I have contacted Ricky and Ryan.
Ricky will be the point of contact at the Corona home.
The phone lines in Hawaii are already being jammed. Sirens have gone off and virtually everyone knows about the impending tsunami.
This will hit the islands starting with Hilo at around 11 AM HST. We are being updated through the hotel and the emergency civil defense system. If possible, I will contact Ricky as soon I can after the initial wave hits. However, multiple waves may hit. The state of Hawaii's infrastructure is scattered and more fragile than the mainland and any damage will probably affect all of us. I do not feel that Sheri and I are in imminent danger. We will be evacuated vertically to the 5th floor and higher. Our hotel goes up nine floors. We are currently on the 4th floor facing the ocean.
Sheri & I are preparing what we need right now and will not be communicating further and then only a quick call or text or email or face book update to Ricky.... as this situation progresses. We need to keep lines open for emergency purpose.
There are areas of the islands that are being evacuated as I write this. The islands are shutting down everything but emergency services - gasoline and supply stores. Most of these stores and stations will be shut down in a couple of hours.
It has been a generation since this happened in Hawaii and 1960 when a 9.5 quake from Chile hit the islands and caused casualties and major damage to Hilo. It is very nerve racking with the sirens continuing to go off at regular intervals.
If possible I will communicate to all when it is safe to do so.
Please don't send any emails back - We know you all care and wish us well!
Love to all
Aloha!
Everyone please send your prayers. I will update any emails that I may get over the next few hours.
