Sometimes here, almost at the bottom of the world, it can feel so very far away from events like these. I'm glad that it turned out to be a false alarm and that your family and friends are safe. It would've been an horrific experience for them.

I cried reading it because my heart was breaking for Billy, his family, my family and all my friends. I am glad he shared that on his public page so that we would understand the terror that people went through and maybe we can all learn something from this.

I cannot begin to understand the terror that people would have felt. Not knowing where your family members were or if you they could find shelter, would have been the finish of me. I thank you for sharing this. Until I read what your friend was feeling, I was an outsider looking in. After reading I was given an insiders view and it was terrifying! I so hope that your friends and family are starting to find some peace once more.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964345893499561504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-31192019656728282982018-01-16T13:48:36.386-08:002018-01-16T13:48:36.386-08:00I am so sorry for the terror you went through, wor...I am so sorry for the terror you went through, worried for the lives of your family and friends.

I will always consider it home since it where I grew up. I am so thankful that it turned out to be a false alarm.

I knew they were taking a trip over, but did not know when and they usually email me their itinerary before they go. I had not gotten one so assumed that they were still on the mainland. I was in contact with my nephew and sister and they are both ok. My sister has not handled intense stress in the past well, as in she stops breathing, but she, praise God, did not do that this time.

Of course, my husband was gone at the time. I took my seven year old daughter and the dog into the closet and started praying. After that, I called my folks on the mainland and asked them to start praying too. Then I called my husband, who is a soldier, to see if he knew what was going on. It didn't help that my daughter and I had just finished reading I Survived the Bombing of Pearl Harbor a day or two before that. By the way, I was more scared that day then I ever was when we lived in Korea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-9470840373610487082018-01-15T15:38:25.892-08:002018-01-15T15:38:25.892-08:00Thank you Cheryl so very much.

It had to be the worse experience of their lives. God bless them all. I am so thankful it was a false alarm.<br /><br />On that note - I can not believe that anyone is going to or allowing their family members to go to the Olympics. What idiots EVER thought it would be a good idea to hold them I S.Korea, as long as that little fat man/boy is in N. Korea? I just don't understand it. <br />I pray I am wrong, but I do believe WW III will begin in early Feb.<br />I know they say they have an agreement - but he is not to be trusted.<br />God be with them all.<br /><br />I am sorry for the rant - but that has been on my mind since hearing the reports of what happened in Hawaii.<br /><br />I am sorry your family and friends went through such an ordeal. Please let them know we are praying for their safety and for their calm. I am sure it will take a while to get themselves 100% calmed.<br />BlessingsCheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.com
