Jimmy Kimmel, who was evacuated from an island in French Polynesia due to tsunami warnings earlier today, is safe and sound.
“We are back, officially ‘unevacuated,’” tweeted Kimmel. “Thanks for your kind words. It was scary. Best wishes to our friends in Japan and all affected.”
Last night, before things turned serious, the comedian joked about his bad luck, tweeting, “Suddenly, relaxing on an island in the South Pacific isn’t so relaxing anymore. Good thing I brought my aqua stilts.”
Today, however, Kimmel realized the gravity of the situation.
Asked how scared he was by a Twitter follower, the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” host replied, “a good solid 7. on a small island, with no high ground.”
Soon after, he wrote, “we are evacuating the island. dogspeed.”
MC will update when we hear more about Kimmel’s status.
