Is Ukraine using tectonic weapons against Russia?

Everybody all stuck in traffic. 

Perfect.

Trying to get to high ground but no can move.

Last time the tsunami didn't really ROAR in.  It kinda went poop! and den pau.

I'm hoping the same thing happens again.

Poop!....... ;D

Well after all the excitement, nothing happened again.  After a few more times people will get complacent.

at 5pm, the pullout on the kailua side of the pali highway town bound was FULL of cars
there was a bunch at the hairpin turn hiking point kailua bound

couldn't see the pali lookout parking lot, but the two pullouts town bound before that had a few cars
that parking lot where they hike to the reservoir at the top of old pali road was really full too...

So who's waiting at the top of H3?

Open the Road Oprah

She had Maui PD ensuring no one could use her road to evacuate.
How did she get to do this, with just a phone call? It took her a while to open the
road after getting flamed on X. This should be illegal during an emergency
but I expect our local politicians to bend a knee to her. I wonder if the Maui
Mayor has anything to say about this.

I'm glad that the tsunami didn't roar in but kinda pooped.  More like diarrhea. :thumbsup:

I actually believe that something as catastrophic as a tsunami hitting our coastlines will happen when either nobody knows about it or the arrival time is so short no matter all the warnings people will get caught in dead stop traffic.

This is a good test run in case a much bigger tsunami or other disaster hit HI.  Did you learn anything from this prep wise?

For me personally, not too much.  I hope those who live in tsunami zones did, though.  I'm grateful that I am retired so my chances of getting stuck in traffic is practically zero plus I live on high ground.

I learned more from the Lahaina wild fire.

I learned that if Oahu ever gets hit hard, either by tsunami, hurricane, or other disaster, we are essentially f*cked.

Big Time.  Our leaders are all talk.  When time to do the walk, they just going look at each other. 

While taking care of their own.

My opinion, of course.

I saw major traffic leaving the ward area. Queen st, Kapiolani, Ward ave, all jam up. Prob all the downtown workers leaving as they got sent home. 

News said it took them 2 hours from Ala Moana to Tsunami Center (Pearl Harbor).

Remember what you would do differently next time. Mount Doom has awakened as the ring of fire enters a more active phase.

Words of truth!

Imagine all those Cat Ladies Against Guns, and all the rest of the Marxists spewing hate on the 2A, when the looters start filtering into their neighborhoods and they hear the screaming and mayhem working its way toward them.

Will they wish they had a gun to defend themselves in a world of non-existent police / governmental authorities?

Probably not, because dirt has more intelligence than they do.

Natural selection will then rule.

This WILL eventually happen, as everyone in this forum knows.

But anyway, I suggest that we always point out to any gun grabber that they live on an island 2,500 miles from anywhere, with a teeny, tiny, understaffed police department, and not only will the police not answer in a real emergency, but their phone won’t even connect to a network - probably for days  :-*

Keep more beer in stock.
Drank what I had sitting on my wall watching idiots go 3 and 4 deep on 2 lane kam hwy racing to go no where.
That's because within minutes of the warning, there were 2 accidents within 3/4 mile of my house.
Kept eye on tsunami progress with the buoys and was waiting for Guam report.

Other than that, always prepped.

Question was "Did you learn anything from this prep wise?" so I should have prepped with more beer.
Beer is a pleasantry, not a necessity for survival/flourishing so no panic there.
Was just for imbibing while watching all of the chickens with their heads cut off running around.

My local Foodland does not sell beer (LDS Land) so it would have been 3 miles south to Hauula Tamuras

(Have 142 rolls of TP in stock)

Wow, I forgot abotu that. I knew they were closed on Sundays but totally forgot about the beer.  I wonder what else they dont' sell.  Good thing they are now allowed to consume caffeine.
