As the title states, I woke up to a 6.7 earthquake this morning, which occured right off the coast of Big Island (for those that don't know, I'm in HI). It's crazy, the first earthquake in my life took place in the middle of the Pacific. What's really crazy is that the **** is just like the movies... everything was moving and shaking in my house... I'm suprised it was that rough this far away from the epicenter. I'm not exactly sure how many, but I know Oahu and Maui were damn near 100% powerless, and I'm sure Big Island was too.

good to hear everything's ok ... btw It's only um 4 effin 20 in morning and I'm congested/can't breath and sick as f*ck. If an earth quake happened right now I think I'd blame it on my head spinning ...

 

Yeah, when i was younger and live in California, i used to get woken up by those on a regular basis. Crazy **** mang!

 

^isnt that the truth. Back in the good ol 90's in Cali it happened on a regular basis. I am still scared of those earthquakes.

 

I was in L.A. for the big one, back in the days (it was around 3 or 4 am). My dad's house, split in half. It wasn't a "shaky" earthquake but more of a swaying one. Still lasted a while, couldn't sleep at all, had many aftershocks.

 

I was lived in Long Beach for a while and experienced a few...they are creepy.

Damn Tony, I was just saying to my wife as we were going into work , "Damn, I wonder how Tony is doing after that quake". Glad to see you guys are okay budy.

 

glad to hear you and the wifey are ok man.

 

+1 .. any damage to the house?

 

+1 Hope you didn't have any serious damage man.

 

Tony,
Glad you guys are ok. Next time, jump in the car and go out and see how well it hugs the road when the road is rockin underneath you!

 

Wow...I thought about you when I heard the news. I'm glad all is well with you and yours.

 

Thanks everyone. Tha damage on Oahu wasn't bad at alll, matter of fact, damage period wasn't too bad. A hospital on Big Island was damaged pretty bad though.

I could just imagine actually being close to the epicenter... being this far away was felt, ****, anything closer woulda been crazy.

downtown Honolulu last night...sucked...no power ALL day, and getting food was DIFFICULT!

 

My mom and stepdad live in Kona on the Big Island - mom is in Arizona for work but stepdad said it was a pretty good shake - enough to make him do the stand in a doorway thing. Their house is OK - some water sloshed out of the pool and a broken flower pot or two.

 

Glad to hear you and the misses are ok, Tony.

 

You'll get used to it I live in San Francisco

 

That was pretty much the whole island (Oahu). No food joints were open (save maybe a few)... I was pissed. I went to Jack in the Box (whose power was ON) and they weren't serving. I drove around all of Wahiawa and Milinani but couldn't find jack besides a few gas stations that were only selling gas and Walmart with it's long *** line and 15 item limit... you had to give them a list, wait outside the door while the employees shopped for you. The only Walmart letting people in was PACKED. We got the last bag of charcoal and some other stuff that we ended up not needing since when we got home the power was back on.

 

Glad everything is okay!
