I hope your place wasn't too damaged, the video I've seen is just heartbreaking. I wonder how the little single wall house we rented survived, it was on Ho'olai 3 houses North of the intersection with Kapoho Kai Dr.

That house survived just fine - all the ones on our st did as the devastating part was the storm surge but it came to about 10-12 ft and went inland about 200 ft further than it usually does.
To give it perspective, there is a new house being built in front. Their front door (17' to floor level) and our door on our first story are about the same level.
PS I didnt know that was the house you lived in ! We would have lived almost behind you back in the day in the house we rented for 5 yrs.
