So we're supposed to be impressed that you had ample oportunity to leave like commanded, yet chose to risk the lives of your family? Wow, how heroic - staying in a dangerous area even when your wife is in tears out of fear. She's still with you why?

I did notice in the Post today, they had 60 structure fires in Detroit recently and it isn't getting the air time of the Boulder fire. True, many more of those buildings were abandoned, but I know that would scare me if I lived in that neighborhood.

We had 5 hours to get to higher ground..In that 5 hours of hyperbally (TV coverage) they had various experts on..One said the Marqusas (?) which is halfway between Chile and Hawaii got a 3 to 4 foot wave..The news guy asked him if Tsunamis typically get bigger as they cross the ocean? And the expert said "no"...Then they went back to telling everyone to run for thier lives for the next 4 hours..That was it for me. I knew it was gonna be 3 feet or less, and we were on the top floor of a solid building. I found the entire event thrilling....We had the building, the pool and the beach all to ourselves all day.
