Another Tsunami watch. It's schedule to hit by 3:00 am Hawaii time. This one I'm taking more seriously and heading to higher ground around 2-2:00 am.

Which Island? I was on the Big Island two weeks ago. Snapped this pic by sticking my camera out the window while driving to Hilo.

If only we had some sort of.. I don't know.... supernatural protector who loved us beyond comprehension and had ... superpowers that made superman look like Fat Panda... and this entity watched over us all the time and when something like a Tsunami happened, it would use it's awesome powers to stop it from killing us... that would be AWESOME!

Too bad nothing like that apparently exists..

I am seriously amazed how brave these people are, NO panic, no looting, no nothing.

Everyone stays calm, no trains work, they all walk home.... fucking amazing.

Got to respect the Japanese for that, any other country and fuckers would be looting, hopefully the cops are keeping all those evil gaijin under a watchful eye

On the other side, I remember when I was in Okinawa, Japan was hit by another earthquake. I watched video after Video of people cleaning up their yards while their neighbors were still trapped in the rubble. The detachment they had for their fellow human beings was shocking. But to give credit... they did seem very calm while ignoring the cries for help.. and they didn't loot

We have Arvilla. Mike can slay the tsunami by hitting a few most musculars.

I love the Japanese. Coolest people in Asia by far. This is a tragedy. If the Tsunami had wiped out China, it would have been a great day in human history.

First class air travel, bitch!

We didn't make it to the green sand beach because I didn't have decent shoes; it was nearly a two mile hike to get to the green sand beach. I had to settle for black sand.

Some random guy coming out of the mens' room (in the background).

It is more of an "adventure" than the other islands and way cool (lava, etc.) but it's probably my least favorite of the islands. In this pic people gather on dry lava, watching fresh lava flow! Again, pretty cool.
