Your graph proved accurate.

I hope both of your parents are ok. It's got to be scary to be on vacation and not have any power. At least they are in the U.S. and not on some island like Jamaica or Haiti.

the one fellow calling into FNC from the Marriott said ceiling tiles were falling, walls cracking, everyone evacuated to the parking lot and tennis courts.

Good morning.

Are there ocean buoys that would pick up big waves ?

Do you have electricity from the grid ?

Glad to hear that you are well.

"multiple landslides were reported on the Hamakua Highway"

Hopefully no one driving down this highway at the time
had problems.

"Any news from Waikoloa?"

My family stayed at the Hilton Waikoloa Village a few summers ago (on Hilton points, believe me we could not afford it otherwise.) Gorgeous place -- hope it is OK.

And I'll throw Mauna Loa in just in case...

Mauna Loa Earth's Largest Volcano

Are they interconnected? Share a magma chamber and/or hotspot possibly? Or have they pretty much done their own thing?

Sadly, no.

Just checked the Maui webcams, apparently the power's still out up there.

"Wonder if a chunk of Kilauea's fixing to let go?"

I don't know enough to even speculate. Earlier on the thread I remember a 25 mile depth so seems to me that has the sound of a whole lot of rumbling.

The Hilton was one of my favorite places to visit and act like a tourist. I wonder how all the resorts on the coast fared?

Is there any chance a wave could propagate east and wash the debris from Los Angeles and San Francisco? That would start the week off well . . .

LOL!! It would be a good start.

Same hotspot, definitely different magma chambers.

Magnitude 6.3 Earthquake Strikes Hawaii

(AP) HONOLULU An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.3 struck Hawaii early Sunday morning, waking up residents and knocking out power.

The U.S. Geological Survey also reported several aftershocks, including one measuring a magnitude of 5.8. No damage reports were immediately available.

The quake occurred at 7:07 a.m. local time, 10 miles north-northwest of Kailua Kona, a town on the west coast of the Big Island, said Don Blakeman, a geophysicist at the National Earthquake Information Center, part of the U.S. Geological Survey.

Blakeman said researchers were still trying to ascertain how many aftershocks struck and how large.

Blakeman said there was no risk of a Pacific-wide tsunami, but a possibility of significant wave activity in Hawaii.

The quake occurred about 155 miles to the southeast of Honolulu, the state capital, in Oahu.

If they're on cable, they might try tuning in off-air. If it's still as I remember, the Honolulu stations have translators rebroadcasting their signals on the big island. Those should have back-up power.
