I didn't sleep much last night, between waiting for the tsunami to hit and my phone going off, I probably got three hours of sleep. Nita and I headed back to the house early in the morning, I had been a very desired morsel by the mosquitoes in the house on the hill. There was a lot of traffic on the way back to the house, a drive that should've taken us five minutes, took us twenty. We got back to the house and all was well. Paul came out and asked us how our camping trip was. We had heard that there was damage at the harbor, I biked down there to check it out. Not much damage was done, except one of the docks got ripped off it's piling. I went to the stream to discover that the water was flowing really fast inland, and then back out to sea ten minutes later in a continuous cycle. After checking out all the excitement, I headed back to the house took a shower and then had a long nap to catch up on some sleep. After a nice nap Tocci came and picked me up to go surf, the waves were about shoulder high and I even saw some large whales playing in the distance.
Thank you to everyone who contacted me to see if I was ok, I appreciate the concern. All is well here in Hawaii and I am now experienced with tsunamis.

One dock at the harbor got destroyed, even though it was supposed to be tsunami proof. |

The beaches were all closed in the morning, you could see the brown current pulling out to sea. |
The Anahulu Stream flowing heavy upstream from the tsunami tides.
The same stream flowing the opposite direction ten minutes later.
