Somebody please help me here…

You’re in Hawaii… You’ve just heard news reports about a massive earthquake in Chile that has generated Tsunami waves that have already impacted the South American Coast. You hear the the island sirens going off and people around you are gathering supplies and heading to higher ground. The government is telling you to get away from the ocean and find shelter so naturally you….

Grab your camera, put on some flip-flips, and head down to the beach?

I’ve been worried about my Hawaiian family since I heard about the devastating earthquake in Chile. The phones are jammed and updates are sporadic (mostly through Twitter and Facebook), but I managed to log into the Waikiki beach webcamera where I saw… THIS?!

Seriously? These are the people who end up on programs with titles that start with “CAUGHT ON TAPE!” or “THE WORLD’S STUPIDEST…” — People, if you’re on the beach when a Tsunami comes ashore, you’re not going to get great pictures. You’re not going to film cool video. You’ll just be dead.
