Friends, thank you for your prayers, comments and emails checking in on us (especially you first-time commenters). I sincerely appreciate that you kept us in your thoughts. I will keep this short because it has been an exhausting night and I barely slept, but we are fine.
Waves began hitting the top of the island chain sometime a little after 3:00am; apparently, Maui got it worse than the other islands, with some of the waves as high as 7 feet and traveling 1/3 of a mile inland. Parts of the island suffered flooding and water damage, but we're all safe, and that's what matters.
Please keep Japan and all those affected by this tragedy in your thoughts and prayers in the coming weeks as they take the necessary steps to recover and rebuild. I am deeply saddened by this.
Thank you again for your kindness and for reaching out. Much love to all of you! xoxo.
So great to hear you guys are ok! Keep safe.
ReplyDeleteTruly, all I can say is: I'm so glad you're ok!! Keep safe, yes!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of you! Glad to hear all is well.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely thinking of everyone in Japan.
Happy to hear that you guys are ok!
ReplyDeleteSOOOOO HAPPY YOU ARE OKAY!!! I've been praying all morning long! When I heard it was coming to Hawaii, I immediately thought of you and this lady I communicate with on a weekly basis at work from Honolulu. Stay safe!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are :) You stay safe, and thanks for updating!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that you're ok. I heard about Japan last night as soon as it happened (breaking news so I think it had just happened) anyway, I'm so sad about everyone affected.
ReplyDeleteSo very glad to hear you are safe and sound! My heart and prayers go out to those in Japan. My dad's wife's family is there.
ReplyDeleteAngie, You have been on my mind all day. I have finally been able to sit down and write something. My mother called me this morning to let me know what was going on (She knows I don't watch the news) and my thoughts and prayers went out to the people of Japan...and to you when I heard of the Tsunami...I am SO HAPPY to hear that you are safe. I will continue to keep praying as everything continues to unfold. My, my the world just keeps getting smaller and smaller and it is truly amazing that we can now have people we've come to love experience such devastation and feel quite helpless. I am so grateful to know that you are well.
ReplyDeleteI so appreciated your sweet comment on my blog. It's been a rough couple of weeks (year really :-) and I haven't been able to (felt like) post. Thank you for bearing with me and for your sweet support. ~Blessings, Janet
Glad to hear that ya'll are safe!!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers go out to Japan
Oh sweet friend, I am so glad all is well! I have been thinking about you all morning but have had zero time to e-mail you or come by and just as I had the time, you had just posted this! This is such a tragedy, and there is so much hurt! Many prayers going to Japan right now! It made my day a little brighter knowing all is well with you!
ReplyDeleteI almost came right into work this morning and sent you a note but then I thought you probably didn't have a computer with you whereever you were...
ReplyDeleteSick I know, but I kept thinking that if something happened to you then you at least I knew you wouldn't be sad about your brother anymore, because you would be with him. Is that wrong?
SO glad to hear you're safe!!! <3
ReplyDeletePhew! So thankful to hear all is ok with you.
ReplyDeleteso glad you guys are safe Ang.
ReplyDeletesuch a tragedy....happy to hear you are well. sending prayers around the world today!
ReplyDeleteI woke up VERY early this morning after I heard the awful news & hearing that it was making it's way towards you. I have prayed prayed prayed all morning that God keeps you & your loved ones safe. I am SOOO incredibly happy you are okay & despite the flooding etc that there isn't extreme damage.
ReplyDeleteOne of my best friends is in Maui right now vacationing & I finally (after tons of waiting & praying for her too) got an e-mail from her! They are alright as well, they did leave their hotel and sat in their rental car all night.
Get some sleep friend & I am so incredibly thankful you are alright.

ReplyDeleteHoly Crow Angie...
ReplyDeleteI heard about Japan, but I didn't know that it afected Hawaii. I hadn't heard anything about Hawaii.
I'm relieved to hear you are okay and pray that you stay that way. I'm in shock about the state of things in Japan.
Keeping all who are affected in my prayers! Thanks for the update; it's such a relief to hear that you're well. Stay safe!! And I hope that the find the California man who got swept away trying to capture the waves with his camera.
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad to hear your safe!! :) I hope you stay safe. I just can't believe that happened to Japan...
ReplyDeleteSo so so so so happy to hear this.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely thought about you this morning and meant to email you but got covered in work (not a decent excuse, but the thought was there!)
Stay safe.
Glad to hear this! You are the only person I "know" that lives in Hawaii, so I thought about you when I heard the news.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're okay, Ang! Stay safe - thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteglad you're ok angie! keep us updated if anything else happens! :)
ReplyDeletemy fiance's parents live in Saipan and we also have relatives in the Philippines, so we've been checking in and luckily everyone is ok!
My heart goes out to all who were affected! :(
I have been reading your blog for the past month and was on the Big Island last week. Immediatley after the quake, I thought about you and many folks we have come to know in Hawai. Listened for many hours this morning via the Iternet to KAPA radio hoping for the best.
ReplyDeleteI am relieved that you are safe. Our thoughts and prayers are with those in Japan now.
I just came here from Five Great Kiddos. My heart goes out to the people who are in the path of the tsunami. So glad you're safe. My niece and her husband are in Maui. She was terrified, especially knowing that she's so far away from her two little boys. She's OK.
ReplyDeleteTake care. I'll remember you and all the others affected by this in my prayers
I am so glad that you guys are ok!The big thing is that your safe. I was going to send off an e-mail to see how you were. If there is anything we can do for you please let us know! I mean it! Don't hesitate!Sounds like damage is pretty minimal which is good.
ReplyDeleteGlad your are safe!!
ReplyDeleteSo sad for Japan for what is happening.
So glad that you, my girl & Hawaii are safe! So sad for Japan though.
ReplyDeleteM x
I'm so glad you guys are safe. I was praying for you Friday when I heard it was coming your way.
ReplyDeleteOh good! I'm glad you guys are okay! That must've been pretty scary for awhile there.
