'cause w...

Whatever paul just saw in hilo, that drop in the water and now receding of water in the river is the first tsunami wave. because that's a good sign that maybe the second and third won't necessarily be all that destructive. >> again, looking at live picture of magic island. and off in the distance can you see some of the fishing boats that have evacuated the harbor. they're further out to sea where the damage will be minimized if there is any damage at all. no one at magic island at this time. at least we're hoping not. it seems that -- >> looks all clear. good thing. there was a surfer out ear...
