We (Hawaii) is under a warning. Supposed to hit at 0300 AM Local (7AM Kansas City time)......

Yea on another forum I'm on, there's lots of Hawaiians saying sirens are going off everywhere. The watch just turned into a warning in California (http://wcatwc.arh.noaa.gov/2011/03/1...elhvpd9-04.txt)

This is huge. I hope everyone stays safe

Went Sat phone with Kadena. Base is still accounting for personnel. Marina is trashed. Miles of the apts and houses on the seawall got redeveloped into whitewater for a while.

Lots of folks (local) unaccounted for.

Charlie sheen still most important thing in America.

Locals will be tough to account for. Apparently The bases started snatching people off the seawall neighborhoods and taking them uphill. there are a lot of locals in gyms, schools and Hangars.

Rescus sq's are running all 5 choppers on hot turns.
