Kaneohe Bay seems to have sustained only minor damage. They were telling me about having a small earthquake last week, but I didn't think anything about it.
This kinda pissed me off:
"Hawaiian Electric Co. has opened its emergency command center and is implementing its tsunami plans, according to Peter Rosegg, Hawaiian Electric spokesman.
Striking members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers are still out, Rosegg said, adding that the electric company has an agreement with the union that workers will return to work in case of a "major emergency."
"We have an agreement, but until we know the extent of the emergency we will not know what we need," Rosegg said.
Meanwhile, HECO is moving its emergency vehicles to higher ground and Rosegg said it is shifting generation to facilities that are the least threatened by a tsunami.
"We are prepared with nonunion and management crews," Rosegg said.
About 1,300 IBEW members went on strike Friday."
WTF? Strike later, assholes.
It's sad the people of Japan didn't have enough warning to evacuate completely.
