Update: Live feed removed as the threat has passed.

10:10 am MT: The tsunami is expected to hit Hilo, Hawaii first at 11:05 am Hawaii time. The shores of all islands may be in danger. Advice for those in high-rises: Get to the third floor or higher. Stores are open and they are recommending people get food and water and medications for 5 to 7 days.

Maui is having trouble with cell phones. Don't dial 911 unless there is an absolutely emergency. Twitter is the recommended source of updates.

    be careful, and enjoy the parts of it you can.  (well, no surfing, I meant time with friends)

    Keep it coming (5.00 / 2) (#17)

    Stay safe, Donald, but please keep the updates coming to the extent you have time.  It's much more vivid hearing from you than from strangers on the TV.

    a huge number of gawkers on the higher roads overlooking the water in places where they haven't closed the roads.

    I think Hawaii may be safe since most of the world is watching live on TV to see the tsunami come in.  Let's hope so, anyway!

    Oh, oh. You're seeing it receding (5.00 / 1) (#22)

    sooner than anyone on the teevee reports.

    Waiting, reading your reports, watching here in 33-degree weather with several feet of snow still on the ground -- sending that thought to keep you smiling and happy to be where you are, even amid all this.

    Wish you all the best in HI (5.00 / 1) (#23)

    and, I presume, throughout the rest of the south pacific.
    Stay safe, Donald. (5.00 / 1) (#24)

    Your eyewitness coverage is much appreciated; keeping you and the entire area in my thoughts and prayers.

    Hope your daughter is staying calm - she's in NY State, right?  And dealing with the aftermath of a big snow, probably.  

    I think I would be a little on edge if my kids and I were separated by such a great distance.

    Takes me back to my years in FL.  2004 was the worst....evacuated three times that summer.

    of motion or sound, then freezes. Anything I can do with my (admittedly new) PC?

    Just emailed a friend on the Big Island. He bought in a high elevation for reasons such as this, so should be OK.
