Postby Mike R King » September 29th, 2009, 3:57 pm

I'm Ok Island hit by a large displacement wave, ocean based coral farms destroyed, land based coral farm intact.
Much dammage on Island mostly from waves that hit I expect a few deaths also but I'm cut off here in Amouli village
120' boats washed unto shore, damage is real bad some houses washed stores gone food will be in short supply.
Running on battery power going to see what I can do to help those in need,,

Mike, I hope you guys can get everything sorted out quickly and get help to the people who need it. Many of use here in the mainland US are paying a lot of attention to the situation there right now, and we're wishing you the best.
