Harbor of Charlotte Amalie, United States Virgin Islands, USA

So we were just cozily eating chickpea pasta when a friend texted me saying not to get washed away… Realized there was a potential tsunami making its way towards us and we should either go up the mountain or out to sea! We picked up anchor and went out, along with a couple other boats in the harbor. But it seemed like a lot of people didn’t know ?? Got a couple calls from other captains here that we’re evacuating up the mountain. The warning ended up getting cancelled while we were out, but definitely better safe than sorry! Kinda wild.
