Ok so when i moved to hawaii... i had no idea or well at least it wasnt my main concern that hawaii had earth quakes i was mainly concerned with the whole hurricane issue but no... this morning at about 7ish in the morning i woke up to my friends entire house shaking. being the fact that an earth quake was the farthest thing from my mind i thought 2 things first thing was OH SHIT korea suceeded and actually bombed us or the military did sumthin and it blew up... then i thought i was trippin cause i called my mom and she didnt know if hawaii had earth quakes or not... what confirmed that i wasnt trippin out or dreaming was someone i know came to the door to ask me if i felt it or not. so since we didnt exactly know what happened we called 911 which freaked me out because lines were busy.... what was going through my head at this point was SINCE WHEN ARE THE LINES BUSY TO 911, OH SHIT SOMETHING FUCKIN SERIOUS HAPPENED, so i called the MP office and they confirmed that nothing was blown up but indeed there had been an earth quake. It was in the water just off the coast of the big island on the kona side... i heard on more then one news station that is registered at 8.0 and what we felt was it trickling down the chain of islands... it registered here at about 4.9 or something along those lines... but anyway no one was hurt thankfully and there were no Tsunami warnings put out so we really dont have anything to worry about... the only real damage was that because it has been raining and the earthquake we were out of power for about 11 hours... which sucks WHEN YOU HAVE AN ELECTRIC STOVE and you are hungry and cant cook... and absolutely everything shut down.... and a few boulders fell onto the main highway on the big island luckily. it could have been much worse.
