As you can see, the "PORCH" came through just fine, and all is well on the home front. It was comforting to hear from so many Folks who were concerned for our well being here in the Islands, and a real credit to our extensive technology and early warning systems. Now, if they could just get the results more accurately predictable... Mind you, I'm not complaining... with all the potential for a huge disaster - it's a small price to pay for a "false" alarm. I think everyone here (well maybe not a lot of the displaced Tourists) agree that our Civil Defense and Government agencies did a good job and were well prepared to look out for the Public's interests.
While up on the hill Saturday, I also got word (and noticed her little yellow Mercedes zipping around) that good Friend Bonnie Nelson was also up above Laniopoko park. Well, Ms. Bonnie has become quite the Photo Journalist these days, and has become quite adept at putting together Photo Videos. Not surprisingly She's got a pretty good one of the Tsunami Day. The beginning shows a nice tour of the area above Laniopoko (Jeff's place is higher up, all the way to the top). About in the middle there's a great panning scene of the off-shore Boats, with Lanai in the background. And at the end is back in Lahaina, on the grounds of Puamana where
Bonnie, her Cats and the Butterflies live... Puamana Tsunami Thanks Bonnie!
Monday is one heck of a way to spend 1/7 of your life!
Glad to hear that even though the Tsunami didn't wipe you out, neither did the rains and winds!! Hope you got all your precious belongings unloaded and put away nice and neat. Good way to start off spring cleaning. When your forced to quickly decide what you cant live with out, you know better what you can. ;-)
