[Elecraft] Prayers for

[Edward R. Cole]

The sightsee'ers are the ones that often are casualties, sadly.

We live 125-feet ASL on the west coast of the Kenai Peninsula and 
about 2-miles inland from Cook Inlet (a 30 mile wide by 200-mile bay 
off the north pacific ocean.  Tsunami can move up the inlet.  Between 
us and the shore is a small oil refinery (one of two in Alaska) and a 
moth-balled fertilizer plant and the LNG plant (which is closing due 
to lack of natural gas feedstock).  This directly an effect of the 
delays imposed on building a gas pipeline from Prudhoe Bay 
(regulatory delays prompted by the environmental community).

My wife has a good friend and former classmate that live in Reedsport 
down the coast from you.  My wife graduated Seaside HS in 1960.

The same here on the Oregon coast. Probably the worst of it was being
awakened in the predawn hours by the prolonged wail of warning sirens
throughout the area..

The coastline is rugged here with lots of safe areas within a short walk or
drive. At 100 feet above the waves, our home is in one of those areas.

The biggest problem seems to have been automobile traffic. Not people
evacuating, but people from inland rushing to the coast to stand on the
beach watching for the waves.

I'm afraid that someday they'll get their wish, and wish they hadn't.
