I just wanted to let everyone know that Tia and Mom and I are ok over here on Maui. It looks like we were far enough out that we were spared the worst of it, though I hear Honolulu got hit harder. There was one incident this morning, when a decaying corpse tried to haul itself over the rocks while we were having our coffee this morning at about the crack of dawn, but Tia-- you guys would have been so proud of her-- pelted her romance-novel at the thing's head and knocked it right back into the water, and after that it didn't seem coordinated enough to get back up, and got carried off towards molokai.
...Well, ok, and there were some dazed and peeling forms shambling their ways aimlessly across the road to lurch heedlessly at the passing traffic regardless of life or limb down on front st in Lahaina, but in all fairness, they might have been tourists. I... I can't really tell the difference, to be honest.
To those of you on the mainland, give us a shout if you're ok, I hear it got
pretty bad out there.
