The ALOHA WORKSHOP at SKEA is going fine!
The hotel KING KAM -- that I was staying at -- had to be evacuated at 11 pm on Thursday evening -- due to the tsunami from Japan earthquake.
I went to higher ground with Kathleen Alexander and her husband Tom to stay at a friend's house on the Makau.
It was a stressful evening...with sirens and phone calls.
Thankfully...we are all safe.
Kona coast received damage from 1-2 foot surge. It's amazing to see how much destruction that can cause!
The hotel lobby had 1 foot of water...and destroyed restaurant, pool, and first floor lobby.
The workshop continued yesterday . We were all happy to be together....but tired and worried.
At the end of the day-- it was fun... and good camaraderie and sisterhood!
I am so thankful for my students!
Wow.... I will never forget this workshop.
Please check my Facebook page for many photos of the destruction.

thank you Rhoda Carrie and Natiidad. The tsunami wasn't as devastating as Japan... although the Kona coast received some destruction.
I was glad to be evacuated and have time to get to higher ground.
Our prayers need to be with Japan now.
