He told Storyful he was enjoying a night at the Outrigger Bar & Grill when "rouge waves" crashed through the building. "I saw my friends disappear right in front of my eyes. More waves kept coming. Everyone responded to the emergency scenario and thankfully no one was seriously hurt," he said. USAG-KA personnel evacuated 80 people, while 60 others stayed to assess the damage and restore basic services.
