30 years ago, Hurricane Iniki, I had just moved to Hawaii Island. It devastated Kauai, it was a clam clear day here. We flew up there to help distribute water and supplies a few days later. Neighborhoods were wiped out.
21 Years ago, the terror attacks happened and the North tower was down while we were still in bed. When we got up and turned on the TV, we thought they were reshowing the 1993 bombing. It took a while for us to realize what was going on. Then our phones started ringing from people stranded, all flights were grounded and we’re on an island.
