Hold mode...tsunami is on Hawaiian time

People are doing well to keep the roads clear. Many are closed anyways, including highways and freeways. Most malls are closed, most schools and libraries are closed too. Some banks opened today, and mail will be delivered outside of inundation areas.

The latest from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center is that they're waiting too. The estimated time of arrival is reported to be about an hour later than originally thought. Hawaiian tsunami late, what a surprise? At least it didn't come early!

It's an eerie calm before the storm right now. It's weird to know it's coming, but not knowing when or how much water will rise onto our shores. The only sign we have from the ocean so far is some discoloration in Hilo.

Waikiki is flat as winter usually is at this point...
