Tsunamis in Paradise....

Well it is 12:14 AM, and we are currently in a tsunamis warning. There was a 8.8 earthquake in Japan today and the tsunamis is supposed to hit Hawaii at 3 AM....the 3rd tsunamis alarm is going off as I type....
Hmmm....kinda scary, but hopefully everything will be alright. We have backpacks packed and ready with food, water, ID, a change of clothes, and a camera to document!
We were told just to go on the 2nd floor of the hale's at 2, but besides that we just have to wait!
Haha all this exciment is kind of fun, but I'm nervous for the outcome.
It all started earlier when I got a forward message from my friend Courtney at about 9:30 saying "8.8 Earthquake hit Japan, Hawaii is on tsunamis watch" I was a little nervous, but didn't think anything of it and just went on doing my homework. Then I got in the shower and I had 4 missed calls from my cousin Skylar and he was calling me again, so I answered and he then tells me that he had gone to foodland (local grocery store) with some of the boys. Well they got there and it was PACKED, all the locals were stocking up on food and cases of waterbottles. I guess the tsunamis is a little bit bigger than we were thinking... :/
So I call and wake up my mom and she calms me down for like 15 minutes. She told me to put stuff up high and have a backpack ready just in case. So I felt a little better, I went to change my laundry and all of the sudden the tsunamis alarm is going off...My whole hale is going crazy. I tried calling Courtney and Skylar and both of their phones were off.....I kinda started freaking out.
I called my mom almost in tears cuz I just wanted to know where Skylar and Courtney were...I went to Sky's window but he wasn't there. So I started walking back and Sky found me!!
I gave him a huge hug and held him for like 10 minutes...he had made contact with Courtney and I guess Verizon and AT&T cell towers were down so that's why only my phone was working.
We met up with Courtney and I went back to my room with her to change my wash (didn't wanna lose my clothes!) and pack my backpack.
The boys went to a room in the top floor in their hale, and me and Courtney came to her 2nd floor room (since mine is on the bottom floor). I brought my backpack,my computer, and my letters from Cam :)
Now we are just waiting and praying! Hopefully we are okay.
My heart is aching for all the thousands devistated in Japan today...and for any other families that may be devastated by this disaster.
It really gets you thinking about what is important in life, and how near the second coming is. These are the signs of the last days and we are in the 11th hour. Things are going to get worse before they get better, so we just need to keep our families and friends close and remember why we are here and that the savior will watch over us.
I know everything will be okay, but who knows what the next few days have in store! Hopefully nothing.....I'll try to keep you updated :)
