Tsunami!...or lack there of...

Marci and I went to church this morning on Ebeye and on our long walk back to Gugeegue we were joined by our fellow volunteer Morgan who heard there was a tsunami warning. We couldnt help but laugh because we literally had the ocean 5 feet to our right, the lagoon 5 feet to our left, and nothing but road in front of and behind us (we were walking between islands). So if a tsunami were to come we were pretty much in the worst shape possible without even a tree to hold onto. For anyone who was worried, supposedly because of the continental shelf here or some other scientific reason, if a tsunami were ever to arrive here it would be broken up before hitting. There is no warning or evacuation protocol, there is nowhere to evacuate to when everything around you is water or flat land. There was no tsunami today, just some wind we are very greatful for to break up the hot weather! No worries here.
