Hawaii Tsunami Evacuation

February 27, 2010, updated February 27, 2010

The tsunami sirens have been going off and I have to evacuate. I live on the southeastern side of the Big Island of Hawaii in a rental house just one house away from the ocean at an elevation of only 8 feet above sea level, so I am very worried!

Update: The barricades to my neighborhood were removed and I'm back at home. There was no damage, and luckily it appears that the tsunami was only 2 feet tall or less here.
