i went back this afternoon to check the waves and it was pretty junky. too windy and ugly. lucky i went earlier and had the whole ocean to myself! a great memory for a very rare hurricane. next one 22 years later?
the honolulu fire department was out at diamond head looking for somebody. our firefighters are some of the best in the world!
a few days ago, there was panic throughout hawaii. kind of sad watching people buying more than they need. why can’t people be more calm and smart? going to tohoku after the tsunami, i learned that it is better to just get what you need so everybody can survive. it’s not a time to be selfish.
and since nothing happened, i bet you that the return lines tomorrow at all stores will be very long. once again, pretty sad.
and what’s more sad is some stores took advantage of people in need. selling a $3 case of water for $15? that is called price gouging and it is very illegal here in hawaii. businesses like that should be shut down. how can you take advantage of our people at a time like this? where’s the aloha? unbelievable.
hey, ever tried to eat this fish sashimi style before? i tried it for the first time the other night and it was amazing. i see this fish all over south japan and all over indonesia when i go diving. they are in schools and i never shot one before because they don’t look too appetizing. but after trying it, i’m sure i’ll spear a few on the next dive trip i go on. it taste so good!
welcome back to normal life. everything should be fine come tomorrow morning. waikiki reopened earlier tonight and it was packed. they were stores already selling “I Survived Hurricane Iselle” tshirts. i’m sure a lot of tourists will buy one. not me. haha.
