My Dad is one of the smartest people I know and he always gives me a list of reasons the hurricane or Tsunami won’t hit Oahu...for 20 years my Dad’s been right! This year he hasnt been well & didn’t say anything. So when I watched the news I began to worry. I’ve always had an Aquaman kind of boyfriend who preps & takes care of everything for me. He is actually stoked about the big waves & surf and I’m around positive energy. I’m usually helping family+friends+clients with their properties all week and superhero BF has got everything covered and we usually end up having a sunset BBQ w friends the day of😎 This year, the news experts said #HurricaneDouglas was unlike any before and heading straight for the Hawaiian Islands with 90mph+ winds! I woke up to calm seas & skies, but prayed for God to bless & spare us because I don’t think im the only one who can’t take any more this year!! Then I heard the City+Country Hurricane Sirens go off...and Flash Gordon inside me kicks in for 5 hours! I checked everything off this Hurricane List+more✅ checked tires, got gas, got a NOAA portable solar radio/light/usb hub/outlet, got an ultra purification water filter pitcher for camping or the next Holocaust, a portable solar power gadget, filled my bathtub w water, brought all my furniture in from the lanai, lined the windows+sliding doors with towels, took everything off my shelves+walls, wrapped stuff that could fly+cause damage, secured all my cabinets w thick rubber bands, bought canned foods (I normally eat everything fresh), boiled eggs, made musubi, brownies & snacks, plastic wrapped everything like I was moving, packed an office bag & a camping bag of stuff for a getaway in case my home came crashing to pieces with the hurricane...I was ready! I saw the news and decided to go to my parents house up the mountain. My mom was making dinner. She had one flashlight out and my dad was watching the news yelling, “I knew it.” Just then an Angel of a GF text, “the hurricane is miraculously shifting to miss Oahu” ..in the 11th hour! Across the sky tonight’s sunset was peach, baby blue, lavender & purple~my heart~thankful w Blessings🙏💜#mahalokeAkua (at Oahu, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDI7MlKj9Uwt3H5BR8Fv7SmyeFBVbGs0JXpGQg0/?igshid=1p8kmfvtg8n6q
