Well I have my very large surfboard ready for any massive tsunamis that dare to think it can just stroll on through SD (if one ever does). I will wrap a very large rope around it and tame it.

I will then use it to destroy other countries I hate... meaning all.

Do you even know how a tsunami works? Tsunami's aren't simply "waves", they are basically temporary rises in sea level. Or in other words, an x foot tall wave that is several hundreds, or thousands of feet long. The tsunami just doesn't hit the coast and recede, it hits the coast and continues to surge several miles in land. Tsunamis are not surf-able.

I hope all of you people in Japan are okay. And to those in Hawaii who are getting hit, as well as those on the West Coast in danger of this.

I think things are pretty ok here on the islands of Hawaii, however I think the West side of my island is some damage. However, since we our so prone to tsunamis, we have a very awesome tsunami warning program in the state. Whenever there is a tsunami approaching, they sound off these very loud tsunami sirens that our placed throughout the state (however the upgraded ones didn't work since they were upgraded to "solar" and the sounded the sirens at 9pm.) So everyone in the state knew six hours in advance of the approaching tsunami.

As for me, me and my family packed the car at around 10 pm and drove upland until we were high enough to be out of the tsunami evacuation zone. We parked on some random hill. It's been a very tiring night/morning, since we stayed up and didn't go back home until around 6am. I don't think we have any good footage since the tsunami's struck at 3:00 on the most western island (Kauai) and 3:30 on the most eastern island (my island, the Big Island.)

I'll put up any updates if any come out. My prayers currently go to Japan and it's people, and I hope they can quickly recover from this horrible ordeal.
