Tsunami warning

We checked our email this morning to get the weather and mail. We soon realized that we had quite a few messages waiting for us. The six warnings for the tsunami was a bit disconcerting, but we also realized that we have quite a few people keeping an eye out for us and we appreciate everyone's concern.
We considered heading out to sea (where tsunami's are harmless), but decided to anchor out here in the atoll. We thought that the open atoll should be safe from any breaking waves, and the surge (the main danger) would not be too bad. We think that the tsunami only caused about two feet of surge here, barely noticeable.

The day was a bit stressfull, and we did not get our jobs done, but all is well here on Masquerade. Thanks again to everyone who showed concern and provided information for us.
