Every Sunday morning during football season of course, I make it a point to wake up early so I can catch the early morning games. Yesterday was unlike any other Sunday until about 7:10am. My body started to vibrate a little and my vision seemed slightly blurred. First thought was that my stomach was grumbling and I should get a bite to eat. Few seconds went by and instead of the shaking dissipating it started to get worse. About 8 seconds or so in to the shaking, my TV (42" Plasma mounted on the wall) started to move front to back about 3" or so. Books on the bookshelf turned to its side, all the windows were making a noise that sounded like you were in a wind-tunnel. At that point it was pretty obvious what was going.
The earthquake as you all may know measured 6.5 and since been upgraded to 6.7 on Kona according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Where I was on Oahu it was said to be in the 4 range which wasn't even close to what residents on the Big Island felt. There didn't seem to be much damage anywhere on Oahu that I seen just an extremely inconvenient day with no electricity for about 16 hours in my area.
If any realtors on the Big Island see this, could you post your experiences and photos if you have any.
Mahalo for reading and hope all is well where you are at!
