Traffic near Pearl Harbor has thinned out. I think by seven I should be up on the ridge.

Where are you headed?

To your place. Fire up the hibachi dammit. Surly disaster response 101. 2 12-packs (more mobile than 1 case), a hibachi and whatever you can cook and wrap in tortillas. 

sheeesh. 

Glad you boys are safe.

That shopping center/mall on Pearl Ridge. It‘s more than high enough to be a really safe distance from things. I go over to that area on a regular basis.

Thank you my man. Yes I could go for a nice 12 pack of Diet Coke right about now @Orale

Good to see you two check-in. I am going up to higher ground at Pearl Ridge. I live down near the old Dole Cannery and I see how it gets there just for heavy storms, much less this.

Just got the 30 minute siren warning. I was parked alone up on this section of highway when I got here at 4:30. Now there's probably 50 cars parked up here.

Ie, 3 Tsar Bomba's.

I thought it would be more than that to be honest.  Tszar Bomba was ~55MT.

So about the power and impact of a couple of Allsup's burritos that have made their way through @Brisketexan's digestive system?

What makes this worse, and has everyone in Japan, Hawaii, and the US west coast worried for more waves from even this point, is the 8.8 magnitude quake had two 8.0 aftershocks (at least), etc.

I always remember that Crescent City, California, is famous for magnifying any tsunami waves that can reach it -- which wasn't lost on me last time I was there eating a nice steak at a local restaurant, at night.

I drove through Crescent City in October 2020 and they already had Trump 2024 signs out.

So, fingers crossed.

I was last there in 1992, so none of those signs would be visible.

So far, so good. The early warning and preparedness of Hawaiians for stuff like this is impressive. When I say it is genuinely cool to see residents of a state trust and listen to the government on things like this it is legitimately refreshing. More states could stand to be this organized and working as a team to help its citizens.

Yep. Returned home to Kihei and very thankful. My wife and I + everyone I was around at the grocery store about 2 hours before first wave were strangely calm during the whole thing which made me feel that everything would be ok. That was not at all how either of us or the island felt in the moments leading up to the Lahaina fire. Energy is interesting out here sometimes. Mahalos.

People were so calm. I walked the three miles or so from Pearl Ridge over to the Wal-Mart (only place open to pick up a few things)    before getting an Uber back home as the bus system was not up and running again yet. Honest to God if this was out on Long Island I feel like some Italian guys would’ve done something dumb in this situation. Were it Texas and the Gulf of Mexico I think someone may have yelled out “Hold my Lone Star!” and done something even dumber.

yeah nothing like an earthquake and a volcano eruption for the win. 

Just wait until the USGS changes its updates on Mt Rainier. 
 

all of the seismologists I follow believe that an eruption for Mt Rainieris fairly imminent (weeks away kind of thing or less) all these swarms the past two months are building up to something.

Early damage reports from Hawaii

East Coast Quake: Funny Photos of the Damage

I'm glad, of course, it ended up being a non-event for Hawaii. It was my first time in six plus years living here facing a serious potential damaging event. It was good practice figuring out what to load into the car and where to go. A dress rehearsal of sorts for something more serious. I realized I didn't have a real plan in place for something like this which is dumb when living on an isolated island.
