Right here is when the tsunami watch was upgraded to a tsunami warning. \u00a0We had 4 hours to spare so enough time for a quick session.<\/p>\n

In my mind was “Keep calm and go take Mayuki out to sea.” \u00a0That’s my protocol for tsunami warnings. \u00a0BUT, the traffic was completely stopped! \u00a0It took me 1 hour and 40 minutes to get to Ala Moana. \u00a0I ended up parking my car at the shopping center and riding a bike I borrowed from Mateus.<\/p>\n

I get out around 6pm and watched hundreds of other boats heading out to safety. \u00a0I’ve never seen something like this before. \u00a0So cool to see all the boaters taking things seriously.<\/p>\n

Here was an idiot surfing at Bowls about 20 minutes before the tsunami was expected to arrive. \u00a0I think some people can be so naive when it comes to Mother Nature. \u00a0I’ve seen with my own eyes what a tsunami can do. \u00a0It should be taken more seriously.<\/p>\n

The DNLR police were out in the ocean making sure everybody was out of the water. \u00a0The tsunami was supposed to hit at 7:10pm and when I looked on the beach at Waikiki, I could see a few people standing on the beach watching the ocean. \u00a0I stopped caring about people that don’t respect nature, laws, and safety. \u00a0All it does is put others in danger. \u00a0 Spent most of the night out floating outside of Waikiki. \u00a0It was a little nervous, but beautiful at the same time. \u00a0I really needed that time of silence and peace. \u00a0Thank goodness nothing bad happened. \u00a0Thank you to all my friends and family in Japan and Hawaii for reaching out to me. \u00a0Keep safe…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
