We’re at Kihei Lutheran with other tourists and residents. A ok
waiting it out. #fb

Water system shut down soon as a precaution. We won’t see anything up
here, the waves that hit Tahiti were smaller than forecasted which is
apparently good sign for events in next hour.

Listening to local talk radio, some idiot woman was talking about
looting in Haiti after their devastating eathquake. Stupid! Meanwhile,
callers are talking about how their communities were mobilizing,
stockpiling propane gas bottles, organizing folks to get elders and
carless folks to higher ground.

Locals now starting to arrive up here, they took time to pack up
properly, bringing pets.

What we really need later, while waiting for all clear to get back on
road, is a BBQ truck and a shave ice wagon. For now upcountry local
residents seem to be packed up, readying to receive family and friends
from coastal evac zones.
