Tsunami Warning for Hawaii

I was awakened at like 5 something this morning to warning sirens blaring...

from KGMB.com
"A tsunami has been generated that could cause damage along coastlines of all islands in the state of Hawaii. Urgent action should be taken... "

...Due to an 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Chile.
12 foot waves are expected to reach us (Hilo) at 11:05 am

...my thoughts go out to the residents of Chile...
I don't know whether to really worry or not because every time we have a warning, nothing happens. The past 2 hurricane warnings and tsunami warning we had; nothing happened. But this time it seems more... urgent. If we do get hit by a tsunami, that will be bad news because our storefront is in the danger zone. We're moving things but still... it's nerve-wracking.

...I'm glued to the news...

Hawaii blogger babes, please take care!
