With the news of the tragic mudslide, I was thinking about my own experiences near one. All it really did for me was scare the hell out of the East Coast relatives who knew I had been working at the Bower's Mansion concession stand when the 5/31/1983 mudslide came down about 1/2 mile north of where I was. I also had about an hour detour to get home.

The first thing I knew something was wrong was when I looked up at the nearby telephone poles and saw how tight they had become.

'It's Gone.' Community Copes With Deadly Mudslide - ABC News

On March 11 2011 my husband and I traveled from Conn. to Honolulu to visit our son and his family. After traveling all day all I wanted was to go to sleep in our hotel room before starting our adventure in Hawaii. Well, that night the sirens were blaring and we were on a tsunami watch. Thankfully we did not need to evacuate and our son's family was also safe. Our daughter-in-law's family lives in Japan and they were also safe. Said our prayers that night for us and the unfortunate souls in Japan.
