Good new re your family and their boats. Were they able to get out when the first warning was sounded or were they out fishing?

“My family got their boats out in time and have moved them 80 miles to the south, in Humboldt Bay. Will keep them there until Crescent City can rebuild their docking systems.”

More good news. Here on Maui the Maalaea Boat harbor was hit really hard. I have friends in the boat business here that need to get their charters out every day but the tsunami closed the harbor. My friends all got their boats out ahead of time but the tsunami sunk boats and tore up docks and pretty much ruined the docking areas so the state would not let any of the boats back into the harbor to their slips. My friend was afraid they would keep the harbor closed for at the least a few weeks or possibly a month or two which would just about break some of them. BUT!! today they cut through all the political bullcrap red tape and did a quick clean up, brought in heavy equipment and pulled out about three sunken boats and opened the harbor. Unheard of in this bureaucratic liberal Democrat run state. Can't stand our hippie Gov. Abercrombie but as much as I hate to, I take my hat off to him today. He vowed to get things going as soon as possible and came through. (man I hate to say that)LOL
