Okinawa Tsunami Evacuation

We got a call this morning that we need to evacuate from our house this afternoon because of a tsunami warning caused by the 8.8 earthquake in Chile yesterday. We are supposed to go to the base since the base is on higher ground. We live a half block from the ocean and were told that we can stay here if we're on the 3rd floor or higher. Our house is only two stories so we will be evacuating. I don't think the tsunami is going to be too bad here, but we still have to evacuate and its kind of a bummer to have to go hang out on base for three hours, especially since today is Matthew's birthday and we had a few special festivities at home planned. Oh well. We'll let you know how things turn out!
