Received a video tape of Oahu local tv news from 9/12 and 9/13
(the first 2 days after Hurricane Iniki hit) from my Mom on Oahu
(in Kailua, little damage there). Tried to pick out as many names
and locations as I could. Still have not heard from my own friends
in Kalaheo and Waimea on Kauai, not much info on those areas yet.
