Quake in Hawaii


There was a 6.6 magnitude earthquake in Hawaii this morning just offshore of Kawaihae (about 10 miles North of Kailua-Kona). There were power outages on the major islands and limited property damage. There were long lines for food and water at the few stores that remained open as many people acted on the worst case scenario although it appeared that overall damage was limited. While calls were going through, the power outages complicated getting through to loved ones.
