We Are Ready ........
As many of you have heard, the devastating earthquake in Chili has sent a tsunami our direction. We have know of the possibility of this since late last night and then the emergency alarms and evacuations started at 6:00 this morning. I am so impressed and thankful for the amount of warning we have had. There is a sense of calm. The weather is gorgeous, the ocean looks like a lake, all stores and restaurants are closed, lower roads are all closed, all beaches and public parks are closed. No one is panicked. Everyone went to their evacuation stations calmly and orderly. I am sure that no lives will be lost but am still concerned about the possible damage to our beautiful island. We went down to the beach at about 10:00 am and the waters had significantly receded. Other than that, we have seen no action ... yet. Let's hope that continues. Let me just close once again to say how proud and thankful I am to be an American, even in the islands. I feel very safe, very protected, very calm.

Thinking of you and glad to hear you are safe and feeling prepared. That is the key, right? ("If thou are prepared thou shall not fear?" Something like that...) Anyway, miss you girl. Miss seeing those handsome boys and swapping stories. Maybe we'll make it your way for a visit one of these days... Hugs~
