Son just called. Does anyone know anything?
That'll definately shake you up.
No I've been talking to them on their cell phone. Cell phone service still works.
My parents are in Maui and said afer the first earthquake when the second (bigger one) happened, they were told to leave and go onto the golf course. Power and phones out/down. They were told just to stay away from water but the authorities were not thinking there was tsunami concern there (at least) on Maui from what they had been told by authorities.
You broke it 1st with a 6+ mag..
Thats a pretty big one huh?
Ive never felt one.
Hope no one got hurt.
If there had been a tsunami I suspect it would have hit by now.
Was a smart thing to do to stay away from the water, there is the potential for really big landslides off the side of Hawaii.
198 = 1989
"Per the USGS is was only a 4.6 but I think that will be upped."
You were right. Glad yall are ok.
Fox just said 6.9
FoxNews just announcing a 4.9 followed by a 6.7!
God help them - it's a 6.7...
Prayers for everyone in Hawaii now. May they be safe...
Yeah now they say 6.7...
Its crazy when a guy in WV gets a prompt e-mail bulletin and the folks in Hawaii can't get accurate details.
I hope everyone is safe. FWIW, FOX now saying little likelihood of tsunami's.
6.7 Dummy
bttt marker
Our Northridge was just slightly stronger, and it was a humdinger!
They said 6.something during the bigger, second quake, felt much bigger when you're on the 9th floor of a building...and they've been through many earthquakes here in CA. LOL.
I'm sure that's true about the tsunami...just reporting what they were hearing on the ground for anyone wondering what the 'scoop' being heard in Lahaina was :-)
My parent's hotel are telling people to still move to higher ground just incase. I'm wondering if they are worrying about possibly more quakes.
