Well, around 3 am Warrior 4 wakes up to eat. Not too long after that, we get a phone call from Officer Keni that the advisory had been upgraded. The King immediately goes to work. He walks a couple of blocks down to someone's house by Laie Park and relay the news. He calls me later to drop something off to him and then instructs me to put gas in the van. It's 2/3 full! I went to the gas station anyways...as I approach the gas station ...there is a long line of cars waiting to get gas. There is no way I'm going to sit and wait for this line. I thought that it was smarter to go home and get our 72 hour kits out of the garage and Warrior 4's things ready.
Anyway, the King later went to the gas station to fill up his work van and filled all the empty gas containers. I don't know how long he was in line but as he was getting close to the pump he realized that he didn't have his wallet with him. Hellow! he called to tell me to bring it to him.
As soon as I got back from the gas station, the Goo Babes and I started loading all of out 72 hr. kits and what not. The King loaded his cooking stuff, generator, tent and we were prepared! Right before we left at 7 or so the King put the TV and computers up on the top shelf of the kid's closet. This is for real! We decided to ask the Kahalepuna's if we could hang out at their house and they were very gracious in accommodating us. We are grateful..we were comfortable. I was able to take a nap. The Goo Babes were occupied...with movies. We had bathrooms to use. Watched the news updates. I don't how it would have been had we gone up to the Gunstock Ranch. Indeed grateful.
Anyway, the King offered a prayer before we left...and I'm sure most families did because we were spared.
Some experience.
