Tsunami

We are all safe! We heard about the Tsunami at about 11:30 pm last night and stayed up until. 1:30am waiting to find out how big the wave would be once it hit Midway. Midway recorded waves at about 2ft so we figured it would be alright to go to bed. At 3:30 am we were all woken up because the Tsunami had been larger on Laysan than anticipated and almost reached their shelter. It was difficult not being able to see what was coming, but we climbed to the top of the warehouse (see picture) and spent the night there. We were pretty safe on the roof, and the water did not flow over the island at all.  We have emergency action plans for tsunami's so there is no need to worry. We were equipped with life jackets, food, water, and plenty of blankets. We were very blessed, it couldn't have been a better night to sleep on the roof. The sky was clear and there wasn't too much wind. We even saw several shooting stars. It was very dark so we were not able to see the waves but the island was very dry this morning.  Thank you for all of your prayers. We are sorry to have caused so much stress!
