Whale Watch, Moloka’i

I went on a Whale Watch excursion on Saturday, January 13, and it turned out to be the second "day that will live in infamy" in Hawaii's history. The HI Emergency Management Agency sent out a text alert in error warning that a ballistic missile was incoming. Out on the water, there wasn't anything we could do about it, so we just kept calm and carried on whale watching. A few minutes later, marine radio advised that it was a false alarm, but folks onshore didn't learn that for 38 minutes, giving them plenty of time to panic.Læs mere
