For all Forum members who are in the Pacific Ocean region and specifically Hawaii I hope all are and will be safe in the coming hours. Reports and pictures from the Japan earthquake and tsunami are shocking.

According to CNN I may have beach front property here in Palm Springs!
Hoping that our GT friends in Hawaii are free from any damages.
Just heard that this quake was the largest anywhere since the early 1900's.
My heart goes out to all who are affected. God Speed everyone.

My Mom and Dad were evacuated at 9:00pm HST (west side of the Big Island). Safe up the hill at our cousins house, keeping our fingers crossed.

I close friend has a home on the beach on the Big Inland, luckly the wave was only 3' high, if it was 6 his house would have been heavy damaged or worst.

Parents said the surge damaged the sea wall on Alii drive in Kailua/Kona. We had higher water during this past January's high surf, winter swell combo.

My friend home is near the the Orchid Fairmont in Waikoloa. It was good that the waves were so small. I thought the tides would make a difference, but looking at the tide table it appears that they do not vary much on that day.

We're just north of the Fairmont in Puako. Very lucky that it wasn't a strong high tide. In January we had some really high tides occurring with a big winter swell. The waves then made it to our wall. The surge today only made it half way up the beach toward our wall. The beach public access down the street had water, sand and coral washed through on to the road, pretty much the only real evidence that it came through.
I'm on a bus. trip in Singapore this week and had made arrangement to spend 2-3 nights in Tokyo this coming weekend on my way home (SF). Now with the talks of nuclear plants damage on top of the already devastation, I'm scrambing to find a plane seat to SF without stopping in Tokyo.... First time to Singapore, I had no idea that there is no non-stop flight from our west coast to Singapore without stopping in either HK, Tokyo or Seoul! Can't believe it.
Sad to see all the devastation in Japan on TV.
