8.9 Magnitude Earthquake hits Japan, Hawaii under Tsunami Warning

[Angi]

Wishing all in Hawaii well and praying for you. And please let us know how you are as soon as you are able.

Let's not forget all our members in Japan where this all started. I hope all our members and their loved ones are safe.

I dislike every time I hear about some weather troubles or even major accidents, fires, shootings, whatever because with each site or forum you belong to, you add that many more folks to your base of people you know (and often learn to care a great deal about) and it gets so there is always somebody you know who may be in danger. It just makes the whole world so much smaller.

Horrible feeling to wake up to terrible world news. Everyone that is touched by this horrible disaster are in my thoughts and prayers.

Geez Louise! I guess I'd better climb out of my cave and turn on the TV. This is awful! I surely hope everyone is ok.

This is so sad and scary. You never think anything like this is going to happen until it hits you expectingly. I'm praying for every one who is in danger. Lets hope we can get help over there quick

Maui got hit the hardest, but as far as I know all is well. I think it will take a day or two to get things back to normal. Thanks everybody for the concern. Aloha

The wife and I been thinking about you and your family Paul, glad to hear all is well.

Guess we know why momma leopard stopped eh?

This gives us a little vision of what's to come. I live in an earthquake zone near water as well, (and volcanoes). I'm not sure you could ever be prepared enough for that.

Mel has checked in yet I am worried about her (uilani104)!!! My boss is vacationing there in Hawaii, she arrived there yesterday morning. We got word that she and her husband were evacuated from their hotel and taken inland. Have not heard from her since. We are worried sick. I have sent her a text message. UGH!

 

[Angi]

Glad you are okay Onarock. I hope we hear from our other Hawian members soon. Remember the young girl that was a tort keeper. I can't remember her name. I think she was 13 or 14 has anyone heard from her? San Diego is fine. I don't even think the beach was evacuated.

 

[uilani104]

Sorry Mary Anne meant to check in earlier, everyone is okay
Hope your boss is okay!! Which island is she vacationing on?
thought I'd share what happened in Kailua-Kona...not as bad as Japan but still...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91Wh0_yNJhc

Yay Mel, I was worried about you!! Glad you are ok!! Do you need anything? How is your family? No word from my boss Kathie yet. We got one text from her saying they were ok, but nothing more. I hope she can continue her vacation, she is a super sweet lady!

 

[uilani104]

Family is okay, and no I don't need anything...thank you! Are you near the ocean? I watched CNN and they aired some footage of California. OOh did you hear from your boss yet other than that text message?
