This is almost more than one can bear. Close escrow on Friday, earthquake on Monday, Hurricane on Tuesday, Tsunami alert on Wednesday. Can't say I wasn't forewarned. Suddenly, Mauai is looking very, very reasonable!

1960 Hilo tsunami originated in the same area, but from an 8.25 earthquake. Haven't seen an update on this one yet. Hope no one near the ocean unpacked their evacuation kits!
