The Chilean tsunami alert was sounded statewide at 7:45 in the morning, yesterday and I had noticed people doing very strange things. First of all, I have been going to my local McDonalds restaurant almost every morning after my mother had passed away for coffee and a breakfast sandwich and read my morning newspaper there. Usually when they are busy, at the most, there would be about three people ahead of me, Yesterday was different. There were two lines with more than ten people in line and every table was full! I went to another nearby MD and found them closed due to the alert but the drive through was open and had noticed cars backed up to the entrance of the parking lot waiting to order their food. There must have been at least forty cars in line. Stores did a lot of booming business yesterday morning selling bottled water, batteries, and get this-toilet paper! Worst of all, TV coverage showed some people were surfing at Waikiki Beach at the same time the ocean was showing signs of the tsunami. If the waves were large instead of small, they would have all been killed. The police however did a good job getting people off the beach because it was clear and not packed like it was three hours earlier.
By the way, business at McDonalds was back to normal this morning.
