We're transforming our raw land in a rain forest area of Hawaii into something useful and productive. Occasional forays into the joys and perils of teaching and raising teens may take place.

What Not to Do During a Tsunami...
Wait until 7 am to cancel school in an evacuation zone.
Do what this guy did:
This is just really, really dumb. Evacuate means, "Leave the area." Not, "stand right on the wall and film the ocean." Sometimes, people amaze me.
I hope all went well with you and your family. All animals safe? Just another reminder that we are a spec of dust and can be wiped off this earth in the blink of an eye.
Chai Chai, the currents are fierce, even when it doesn't look that bad...I couldn't believe that the guy did that - even if the video was pretty astonishing! I think it was more astonishing to me because I have walked on that road!
Kelly, we're really far up the mountain. Everyone is fine. We did have our own (small) earthquake which was only scary because we were watching the first reports, although my husband did have to point out that some of my books fell off the shelves....
I am just so sad about what's happening in Japan. I have some classmates there...

Well that didn't look too bad, but I agree it was a dumb move.
