Peaceful Aftermath

Here you can see the tsunami's water line on the beachy picnic area overlooking the bay. Thankfully, nothing major, but fun to see nonetheless. One of our neigbors, reluctant to evacuate and eager to see what the wave had to offer gave us the lowdown on what came to pass. "It was like the sound of a freight train," he said, "as the wave made its way from the north end of Kealakekua Bay and chugged emphatically around to the south. I knew I'd be okay, but had planned my escape route just in case. I can run pretty fast, you know."
