My wife and I were living in Hana at the time. I remember EMS and fire were sent to assist. I can't even start to imagine what it would have been like to be in the middle of that.

yes , a lot of stories from that tragedy. lot of comments on how people were delayed in various ways till just after tornado went through. the east side of the lake had trees snapped off about 6 ft high? like match sticks for miles in a 400m wide path, wow.
