Sounds pretty serious. :( State of emergency declared, Power is out, lots of landslides.
No reports of casualties though as far as I can tell, which is the most important. No tsunami either.
Oh wow..
We have good friends out in Hawaii. Guess we'll be giving them a call soon (if we can get through)
Thanks for posting this Tony.

We have friends living on Maui. Will have to call them to see how they are :sad: Thanks for the heads up, Tony.

I have been in a 7.2 quake (on the 11th floor in a hotel, at 2am) and I can tell you it is scary stuff.
But for what it's worth, I'm watching CNN still, and for the most part it sounds like things are a mess, but for the most part things should settle out OK. I.e., people are a bit shaken up (no pun intended), power is out so people are inconvenienced, maybe a few injuries. Hopefully that's all it is.

I fixed my link. It was directing people to some San Diego newspaper not CNN. Sorry about that.
Anyhow I hear power is coming back now. Hopefully things are going to be OK.
We can't reach our friends out in Maui.
But, it does sounds like things are settling somewhat.
