EaRtHqUaKe!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I'm sure the news has come & gone that Hawaii had a 6.6 earthquake!!! YES HAWAII!!!
I'm from California...Home of Malibu, Rodeo Drive, and Earthquakes!!! I'm USED to them...or so I thought!

I had gotten out of bed early, Alika was watching T.v. and not too far along was Tiki girl coming out of the bed, hair messed up, rubbing her eyes...to lay on my tummy. It was raining. cozy..I jumped up and said " I'll make a BIG breakfast..." My dad used to make the BEST breakfast potatoes in the whooooole world...I thought I'd try his potatoes. Mushroom omelet ( alika makes the omelets) toast. Alika went to Mcdonalds to get coffee. we ALL ate...Tiki opened the front door & said "ITs raining HARD!" Reading the paper..coffee in hand, husband watching football...BOOM! It started ROCKING....Tiki came BOLTING out of the other room with eyes WIDE OPEN...Alika in the doorway, looking outside...I hold Tiki scared!!! Alika has NEVER been through a earthquake....now a HUGE JOLT GOES OFF!! I had just watched a show about N. Korea & the missile's...I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT IT WAS....We just got bombed!!! Alika kept saying..."no it's the BUS..." ( sometimes the bus comes down the street and it really does vibrate) . Then I saw it....FEAR. My husband had FEAR in his eyes I've never seen before ( after all, this was very new to him ) then I panicked. we grabbed clothes ( after calming down did I realize I grabbed about 3 pajama sets for Tiki & NOTHING FOR ALIKA OR MYSELF!!)
We got in the car & took off towards high ground...a Tsunami could be next. Our neighbor was like " hey brah, you felt that??" Alika, very pale at this point is like "Brah! get out, were goin to the mountains" we fled so fast our tires smoked....we probably flung some wetness on his face as we left!!
Now were approaching higher ground...but the rain is soo bad, the flood water is coming DOWN, I feel we JUST PUT OURSELVES IN GRAVE DANGER...we parked...no radio working, no IDEA if a tidal wave hit...was it a bomb? that was scary, not KNOWING ANY INFORMATION. We waited about a hour, went home. same neighbor was outside wiping down his MOPED! by this time were alot calmer & laughing at our "FREAK OUT SESSION". We pull up..Alika says " Our neighbor is probably thinking here comes the wig outs and THEN WE DONT EVEN OFFER TO TAKE HIM OR HELP HIM...he's like 'HEY! I only got a MOPED'.
Well, kids have fire drills in school....this was DEFINITELY a DRILL...we realized we ARE NOT prepared for an emergency like we always thought we were!!! Tonight, were off to wal-mart to make a kit...like everyone else is!!!
