Tsunami Warning... please be safe

I'm sure everyone has heard of the massive 8.9 earthquake that hit Japan..... Hawaii is now under a tsunami warning (the sirens are blaring as I type this) and the first waves that will hit (if it does come) will be at 2:59am tomorrow morning (3/11).  I praying for everyone in Japan and here in Hawaii as well.  Everyone please be safe.  Love you all. 

Update: (9:28a)... I've been in and out of consciousness since 3am when the first tsunami wave hit.  At around 7:40a the tsunami warning was down graded to an advisory.  We are not in the clear yet.  Thank you for everyone's concern, thoughts, and prayers.

Love, S

Bye bye February

I'm so thankful that Hawaii remanined unharmed by the expected tsunami, but my heart and prayers go out to Chile.  Thank you everyone for your sweet comments and concerns on my last post.

The weather today was very cold, blustery, and RAINY.  I loved it!!  We hardly get rain here, so when it comes I really enjoy it.  The island looks so lush after a good downpour and we get the best rainbows.   My cuddle buddy had to work today, so I cuddled with Pooma and popped in a movie.  This afternoon we went to Hubbs cousin's wedding.  Luckily the weather cleared up by then, but it was still quite chilly and windy.  It was a simple and sweet beach wedding and the bride look absolutely stunning.  After the ceremony, just the immediate family went out for an intimate dinner... so the Hubbs and I decided to get a bite at Star Noodle.  It was delish!!

When we left the restaurant tonight there was a "MoonBow"... I'm not sure if that's what it's really called, but it was a rainbow without the colors and at night.  I tried to capture a picture of it, but my crappy point and shoot only captured black.  :(

Can you believe tomorrow will be March 1st... where did the time go?  Off to cuddle with my cuddle buddy :).

Love, S

I hope everyone is safe...

Quick update:
If you haven't heard yet, there was an 8.8 earthquake in Chile (my prayers are with those who have been affected) yesterday, which has caused a Tsunami Warning to the state of Hawaii.  The tsunami is expected to hit the Big Island (Hilo) at 11:05am. 

The weather today is pristine.  It's just pass 10:00am and still very calm.  I really hope the Tsunami doesn't reach us and our state in left unharmed.  We've been watching the news since 5am.... and the sirens have been going off since 6am.  We also ran to the market to stock up on a few things... I was dumbfounded as to what to get... I can't imagine eating food "right out of the can", but if worse came to worse, I guess that would need to be done.  We are fortunate enough that we live on higher ground.  I pray that everyone will remain safe today and pray that the tsunami does not reach us.

***Took quick snaps while at the check out stand at the market this morning.  This is a strange first; spam + macnuts = only in Hawaii (I didn't buy them)...


***At Mamang's house... My BFF asked if I could go check up on her grandma.  Mamang (that's what she calls her) was doing fine.  She didn't seemed fazed at all, totally calm.  I'm glad.

Gonna go watch the news..  I hope all of you are safe today.

Love, S
