Island notes….

Looking around…
• There are definitely things to do today…the kids at the Presbyterian Church have a Baked Potato Dinner fundraiser to raise money for summer camp at 4:30pm, and the Soroptimist Club is raising money with their annual St. Patrick’s Dinner & Auction.
• Russell Sadler is an old news guy from Oregon, and he passed on this YouTube vid from yesterday (thanks, Russell)…as I was taking to Dave the DEM guy about whether the tsunami would “hit” our island, and our marinas at Roche Harbor & Friday Harbor, as well as shipyards around the shore, he told me that projections were for perhaps eight inches of swell.
Doesn’t sound like much, but here’s what it looked like in southern Oregon, near the California line in Brookings. The descriptor for the video says, “”On March 11, 2011, at 1145 hours, the tsunami from Japan made it to Brookings Harbor, Oregon. In a matter of seconds the docks collapsed, taking the boats with them. Several boats were washed out to sea and others were sunk.”
Listen for the part where a voice says, “We might not want to be on this dock, dude.”
