CNN (simulcasting the hawaiichannel) - this guy at the airport is playing it up. listen to this idiot - "where is the plan to evacuate Honolulu in case of emergency"? what does he think, there is some magic "plan" that allows everyone on the island to just go to the airport and fly away within hours of the incident?

Thanks for the update! Son & grandaughter are with you & ok I assume?

Hoping the aftershocks don't cause any more damages.

Aloha oe, BIGLOOK. Sorry about the football, LOL.

With a quake that big, you will be having many aftershocks in the coming week, and then over several weeks less frequently.

Your governor sounds like she's on the job.

Hi La Dita... my daughter's best friend's family on the big island are all okay. One relative said she feared her house was going to slide down the hill, but everyone seems to be fine.
I'm sure it was pretty scary. I know it seems like forever when an earthquake starts shaking your home.

Yes! I remember those pancaked apartment buildings! I did not want to go anywhere near Northridge for years.

But then, downtown Santa Monica looked like WWII had struck again.

no, I am serious. I am sure other posters here who might be watching CNN can confirm. they had some guy on a cell phone from the airport, and that's what he was saying.

maybe he attended a recent conference on media relations during natural disasters - in New Orleans.

These are only guesses. I would suppose that power lines are down, cell phones are overloaded, and undersea cables have been cut.

However, I am not an expert on communications, so I will defer to someone who actually knows.
