Last night, the tsunami sirens went off and we were ordered to evacuate to high ground by 2 a.m.
The first wave was expected at 2:59 a.m. This video was taken on the bay front two hours after the first tsunami hit Kona. You always hope for the best when these things happen–it affects so many small businesses along the coast.
Looking at this amount of water in a low-lying area, I am stunned that my Kahaluu oceanfront listing (MLS# 217717) was untouched! I was running around yesterday morning checking my properties and found it dry as a bone.

Our heart felt relief that the Big Island was somewhat spared does not diminish our sympathy and horror at the thought of the massive devastation and loss of life fallen upon our Island families in Japan. They are in our prayers.
