Things are getting pretty busy here on Oahu. Lines at gas stations are horribly long and several gas stations have run out of gas already. Boats are evacuating harbors...The City & County has evacuation busses going around the island. The coastal roads will close in an hour. There's still crazy people out surfing! And no, I'm not talking about Gary. ;) Police helicopters are out telling the surfers to go in…
The Earth shook a lot yesterday... 8.8 in Chile last night, a 7.0 near Okinawa yesterday (no tsunami generated), and a 2.5 near the southeast coast of the Big Island yesterday. The Okinawa earthquake is the largest they've had in over 100 years. To my fellow list members in the islands, take care and stay safe.
