Billy Kenoi gave an interview at 4:30 saying he'd been up all night with his core group. Plans to deploy 1000 emergency personnel, plus National Guard, plus Blackhawk helicopters. All the hotels have been notified. All shelters are open. Shelters do not have cots or blankets, bring what you need if you need to go to one.
The surge into Hilo Bay might be twelve feet. Oh man.
My son went off to Walmart which is the only thing open yet and it's totally full of people, had a 45 minute line-up waiting for the doors to open, and he said it looks like an hour wait to get through the line after 15 minutes rushed shopping. So it might be quiet in HPP but not in Hilo. And sirens go off in 30 minutes. [
