Heard the Four Seasons on Maui was taken out by the tsunami waves.
Have some good video of our little bay here emptying and filling with water every few minutes yesterday after the tsunami threat passed. About two or three foot height oscillation and remarkable to see for a normally placid place. A natural koi pond near the beach was overrun and the fish died. The sea is still doing it to a lesser extent now but the beach is open so that's where I'm going.

Were you and your wife the couple that they talked about in the Calgary Sun? They mention a couple staying in Kona sleeping in their cars.
