That's so scary Oliver. Even though you were a child was it something that you knew to be scared of?

Hello FJ. My understanding this is how it happened in Hawaii. Scary isnt it when our lives could depend on one person. I grew up as a child during the cold war. Cuban missile crisis, etc... I remember air raid drills where we went in to the hallway and put our heads against the wall. No I know it would have never saved us. Oliver
