My Facebook page is full of mobile uploads from Kona, showing the Pier at Kailua Bay near King Kamehmeha hotel under water.
Friends who evacuated from Mauna Lani and Waikoloa Beach Resort and Puako have not been allowed back in, roads are closed, so no word on damage there. I have clients turned friends at oceanfront complexes like Kolea and Halii Kai, will post reports as they come in.
My husband spent the night on a boat normally moored in Kawaihae Harbor, he helped his friend sail it out to sea to ride out the waves. He's still at the harbor and reports 8' swell.
This will change my showing schedule for today, but feeling grateful Hawai'i was spared damage from the tsunami.
Prayers go out to Japan. One Japanese friend here reports her hometown destroyed.
A hui hou
