It’s Pau Hana Friday due to Hurricane Iselle passing thru the neighborhood. “ No work til Monday!” Fortunately, just some wind and rain on Oahu. Reviewing photos from previous years, I came across this image I had taken of the outrigger canoes just off the beach. This time I saw the shark fin shadow cast by Kamehame Ridge in this afternoon light. I wonder if that caught my eye at the time without actually seeing it.
For the second time in 13 months Hawaii dodged a Tsunami bullet. Last year it was an earthquake off the coast of Chile. This time a terrible earthquake off Japan made for anxious hours in the Sandwich Isles. Unlike last year, we didn’t come thru completely unscathed. State estimates tsunami damage at $3 million or more but that’s just a scratch compared to Japan’s troubles. This afternoon I got up Kamehame Ridge. As usual the view was beautiful and only someone with a practiced eye would notice the additional Tsunami induced swirl of sand out in Waimanalo Bay.
P.S. For you Magnum PI fans please note the Robin Masters Estate in the lower right hand corner of this pic with the old turtle pond in front.
