Tsunami in Hawaii

We found out about the tsunami at 2 in the morning on Saturday, February 27, 2010. Thank goodness for technology because they were able to warn us many hours before the actual tsunami came. We were lucky because the tsunami came in the form of a 5 foot swell instead of a wave. They had predicted a 10 foot wave but I am just fine with a swell. So in the past 10 years of living in Hawaii I have been through a 3 week teaching strike, an earthquake, and now a tsunami. The last two events from mother nature have occurred on the weekend and would have been great if it was on a work day :) We just spent the day with our eyes glued to the tv watching the swell come in and let Jackson play in the water. When the alert was over at 2pm, we decided to head out of the house to dinner downtown.
