Dear Cousins: The Tsunami has hit Hawaii and now the West Coast of the USA is being affected. http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/livenow?id=8007618 Seems to be the best source so far. Local news, rather than National news seem to be talking of what is in the moment, not what happened 4 hours or more ago. Santa Cruz, home of the Santa Cruz Scottish Games... and where Kevin and I were married has been affected. I have many friends and some family there. It is not far from where Michael and Sally Boyd of Scot's Valley live --- however, they are on high ground.
