I am currently in a blizzard in New York. Actually it is not so bad here in the city. Bob is home on the Ranch as are a couple of house guests. However, if anyone has nowhere to go, call him at 937-1769 or the land line at 968-1479. Bring sleeping bags as there is no bed space. There is plenty of food and room for animals if needed. I am sorry not to be there in this time of need.
I wish you all well and will check here to learn how you all are doing.
With my heartfelt concern I remain yours,
Pam
I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"

Incredible that everyone rushes out and empties the store shelves.
I am trying to think of what I need to save! My mother reminded me that a change of clothes would be good.

My house is on Kaloli Point in the Tsunami Zone. I am in Los Angeles. It would be nice if someone could let me know what is happening in HPP. So if you get word locally about what is ACTUALLY happening or has happened it would be nice. I am watching CNN now with very general info. Thanks

Yep, my place is on the point, too. Seemed like a good idea at the time!

Be safe everyone and know we here on the left coast are sending prayers of one kind or another to see you all safely thru this challenge of mother nature. Best of good fortune getting some supplies gathered and everyone ascending to higher grounds.
Reading about the Chilean quake of 1960 which caused the last tsunami in Hilo Bay was very enlightening, it re awoke one of their volcanos and sent 85 foot waves in some spots up and down their coast. It was a 9.6 the largest quake ever recorded so this one is quite a measure smaller.
Photos out of Santiago this am were such a stark contrast to the photos out of Haiti, there were real fire trucks and safety infrastructure. It seemed everyone in Haiti was in the shirt on their back and without even a bottle of water, let alone safety personnel and fire trucks. What a contrast so inconsolable.
Pam and Bob always there with a helping hand, what a fine neighbor and friend to so many. Pammy enjoy NYC there will be plenty of work at the ranch when you return!

11:19 am is the arrival time of the first waves.
Reports are 7 to 12 feet traveling at hundreds of miles per hour.
This is real.
Reports are now this is a possible repeat of Hilo Tsunami.
Is anyone hearing about evacuation of Downtown Hilo?

Hilo is going to get the worst of it according to NOAA. If they aren't evacuating downtown Hilo, I would still stay away.
