so my power just came back from this morning earthquake plus black-out that shook me awake at seven this morning. as forceful as it was the only thing it did in my apartment was knock over a cup and turned a light that never turned on before. after a couple of aftershocks my boyfriend decided to call people to see if there was any information of a tide wave after, which we were pretty lucky there wasn't one. i've been in earthquakes before but not this strong and not on an island that has fragile foundation. i feel really bad for the big island, they got the most impact of the whole thing, hopefully not to many people got hurt. with only having a few radio stations reporting i still dont know the real damage of everything. but on oahu where i am it wasn't to bad in my area, a pain in the ass ,yes, but nothing real big that i noticed. the only thing that freaked me out was getting phone calls from family members in the main land that were worried and fearing the worst. i hope with this now happening hawaii will be more prepared for all of the elements that try to sink us.
