38 Minutes: This is not a Drill!!!

315

exactly 2 years ago today:  where were you on the morning of January 13, 2018?  i was on a boat trip and was surfing a secret spot for 3.5 hours.  nobody else was out so we kept on surfing and surfing.  then when i got back to Mayuki, i checked my phone and there were many messages and missed calls!!!  come to find out, there was a warning of a missile from North Korea heading to Hawaii!  i was ok because i was in the ocean which is the safest place to be, but i could imagine how many people in Hawaii must have been freaking out.   when i think about it, that’s pretty scary to think that you have just a few minutes to live…

i didn’t get a chance to watch this documentary yet, but just the thought of having a short time of life left to live must have been terrifying.  i’m pretty sure it changed a lot of peoples outlook on life and how to live it to the fullest.  so yeah, good things came out of the famous false alarm.  what would i have done if i was on land and got the alert?  i would have jumped on Mayuki and drove  far out to sea.  ever since then, i keep Mayuki always ready for any kind of emergency…
