This morning we all woke up to the beuatiful sound of high pitched emergency sirens at 6:00 sharp. We turned on the TV to find that the earthquake that hit Chile the night before was expected to send a tsunami to Hawaii around 11:00 am. All the news reporters were making it sound like a majorWith thoughts of last year's flood in our minds, we spent the morning raising all of our furniture onto cinder blocks and throwing together sandwhiches and fruit for lunch; and for some reason, Mom felt that it was absolutely necessary to bake a batch of bread even though we only had a couple hours left. I guess she was thinking ahead to when our power would be out for days. Anyway we evacuated our house and joined the rest of Laie for a big picnic party on top of the hill behind the temple, complete with loud music, and plenty of talking. It looked like we were all gathered on the hill to watch fireworks on the Fourth of July; everyone was looking at the shore through binoculars waiting for the big attraction that never actually came. You've gotta love Laie :)

I'm glad that there was no Tsunami! But the photos of everyone gathered are kind of funny:) I don't know what else you would do though. I especially like the one of your dad in the Michigan shirt, because of all the stuff going on behind him, including the guy who is not enjoying his back rub.
The quote for the non-Tsunami party should be "well Bonnie just called & the Salami didn't hit them." (Compliments of Grandma Flandro) Glad you are all ok! :)
