Tomi and his family feel scared because the war is with Japan and the Nakaji family is Japanese.  I say this because the text says,"I found Kimi in mamas closet."  This piece of evidence shows, that Tomi's sister, Kimi is very, very scared of all the loud noises of bombs, guns, and explosions.  I also say this because the text says,"I saw mama crying.  Tears rolled down her cheeks in thin wet lines."  This piece of evidence shows, that even mama is completely terrified about the war being against Japan.  And lastly I know this because the text says,"  We got a report that somewhere around this area was signaling the Jap fighter."  This shows that Grandpa Joji waving his Japanese flag around could put the Nakaji family in a lot of danger.  Overall,  Tomi and his family feel very afraid because the war is Japan against Hawaii, and Tomi's family is Japanese.
