Cable outlets doing NONSTOP coverage of the event. Doesn't sound like massive damage.

The special effects for Lost are getting out of hand.

I wonder how the Hilina Slump (the Big Crack)is doing.
That slide is moving at a 4 inch per year rate.

This is a very interesting location for an earthquake, as the active volcano on Hawaii is the small area on the lower right side of the island, with very little activity.

I was in Hawaii recently, and I had a conversation with a resident, who was saying that while the other islands were extinct, because they had moved away from the hotspot, Maui was actually considered dormant, because there was still a fault line connecting Maui with the active hot spot. From the picture, it looks like the major activity is along that fault line. Maui had a relatively recent (500 years?) eruption on its southern tip.

They're saying 6.6 now, which is fairly strong, but I cannot recall this much infrastructure damage and apparant panic from a 6.6 in California. People lining up at stores?!?

I guess I thought they'd be more used to this sort of thing in Hawaii. Looks like they haven't had one of this size since 1951, though.
