Good point. I lived in Hawaii during Iniki. I lived on Maui up Lahaina Luna. Didn't even know about the hurricane. Had no TV, no cell phones at that time. My Mom called me in the AM, woke me up (pretty sure I'd been out late the night before, imagine that) and she said "Are you ok?" "What? Of course I'm ok" "What about the hurricane?" "What hurricane?". On my drive to work (I worked at the Hyatt) I became aware of the hurricane-obviously. Thank god it didn't hit Maui too badly. Poor Kauai got slammed!
