About 40 minutes ago there was an 8.4-magnitude earthquake in the Kuril Islands north of Japan. It is currently unknown if it generated a tsunami, and we’re under a tsunami watch. If a tsunami is generated, it will hit Hawaii at around 12:30am local time (2:30am PST, 5:30am EST).
Follow along with the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center‘s bulletins.
We’re heading out right now to go see a musical revue at Kope Kope. That should show you how concerned we are at the moment. :-)
