Iselle and Julio, We're Ready...


last night a couple of boys from church (thanks Stuart & Max) came by
and took down our tarp.  Lawn chairs are put away.  Got extra propane.
Rubbish cans will be taken in.  I think we're ready.  We haven't boarded
windows, hope that's ok.

Iselle and Julio continue their march towards Hawaii.  Thinking about our
friends on the Big Island.  They're going to get hit the worst.  Praying for them.

A few observations...
I can't figure out why they haven't cancelled school over here on Oahu. Bus service
is cancelled starting tonight at midnight.  We were told yesterday to un-plug everything
today before leaving.  Not sure what they're waiting for.

Water and Spam have disappeared off the shelves.  That and toilet paper.
People wonder why tp?  If the ships can't get here because of stormy seas...
no tp

Different than tsunami.  Right away start loading and getting out and the sirens...
With this there's so much time to prepare, there's no reason not to be or not
to take it seriously.

About 8 years ago, there was a big storm one December.  The winds came on
suddenly.  Terry and I were out in the middle of the night taking down the tarp.
The next morning, the reports were that there were gusts of 85 mph coming down
off Mt. Ka'ala.  I remember what it looked like the next morning and
the sounds of it that night.

Praying for Hawi'i
