Tsunami Warning on Vancouver Island

Soooo Tuesday morning we got a call at 4:15 AM from the APs. They told us about the earthquake in Alaska and that there was a tsunami warning for the island. They had to ask us about where we were on the island, how close we are to the ocean, (they didn't even look at a map  before calling us!) where the backup plan/ tsunami gathering place is, etc.

Then President Wong called us and told us to ask our bishop for the info that we didn't know! At 4:20 Am, by that point. We felt really bad because he has a baby who is only a few months old, but he did, at least, sound awake when we called. It was a messy morning. We had to make our plans taking into account how close we are to the ocean, even though we are on the west side of the island and the ocean that we can see is mostly a harbor.

And THEN, during personal study, the power went out!!! Luckily, it was light outside by then, so we just opened the windows. The first power outage was only for about 20 minutes. BUT it went out AGAIN a little bit later, and that one took forever to come back on! That was mostly just our neighborhood, though. Not the whole city. Our morning was full of unanswered doors, but as we continued on it got better. We found out later that a couple of our elders serving on the west coast did have to evacuate to Nanaimo, but they were back home by the end of the day.
