DRI: The Point at Poipu, 3 deeded weeks, 1 of which is in The Club.
It's humid in Poipu, so we have the A/C on. Didn't even hear the sirens.

It's been interesting, reading all these responses, most of which I agree with. I live in Honolulu, and it definitely wasn't fun, but I do believe they aren't trying to pass it off as just a mistake. The silver lining is that it has forced the state to take a very close look at what the emergency procedures need to be if such as attack did occur, and very qualified people have been part of that review. Much focus has been given to the lag time before we were told it was a mistake, and that obviously should not have happened, because it was identified very quickly that there was no attack. As reported, the action to be taken is to seek shelter away from windows, stay inside until an all clear is sounded, have 2 weeks supplies of food and water on hand. As someone said earlier, if one is at ground zero, the mass casualties would be horrific, but 10 miles away, there would be many survivors. I pray to God that never happens, but we have certainly been given a wake-up call to be better prepared.
