We moved to a nearby church lot after getting coffee and bagels. Now
have power, water, restrooms, snacks. David now giving tech support on
how to send texts to other tourists that don’t know how.

Traffic light on Hwy 31. We heard that access to south Kihei Rd. will
be restricted, cops want it cleared by 10am.

Latest update we had is 7 ft waves expected at Kahului after 11am,
monitoring radio and Pacific Tsunami Warning Center website.

Friend is working at my office today (I’m a corporate travel agent)
reports OGG operating for now, no delays. Airport here is close to sea
level and I expect they’ll evac as a precaution anyway. Hilo Airport
(ITO) is closed.

Note, the Blue Moon Cafe near the Tesoro is open, but they weren’t
ready to serve food when I was there – cooking crew arrived to cheers
and applause, volunteers no longer making their own toast. The owner
was a little freaked out, she could barely pour coffee.
