Obviously, we dodged a big bullet here in Hawaii. The Japanese earthquake triggered a tsunami that wreaked devastation in Japan, and could easily have done the same here. Instead, we had some reported property damage, but no reports of injury or loss of life.
Grateful? You bet! And though I thank our lucky stars that we weren’t affected, I ache for those in Japan, and their families. Since we have a huge Japanese population here in Hawaii, we know many who have family dead or missing.
