Yeah, people evacuated to high ground, all flights in and out of the state cancelled last night, and basically it turned out to be a nothing burger. Better safe than sorry...

Not often Rictor 8's don't cause a lot of damage. +1 for good training operation

Hope you’re staying high and dry tonight and the tsunami doesn’t affect anyone there. My son in Haleiwa loaded his cars and family and headed for higher ground.

Just the harbor parking lot flooded in front of our house. I was up at higher ground for all of it, but I saw video of the harbor drained 8-10 ft deep with the boats laying on the ground, then water rushed back in. Luckily the flooding stopped about 40 ft from our house, then drained back to the ocean.

Nothing like seeing ash falling out of the sky at your house from a forest fire you can see, hearing the roar from the creek/stream/river as the gully washer changes the landscape. I imagine watching the surge tide roll out/in and finally out again is just as emotional.

Forest fires and floods suck.
