If you watched the news at all yesterday, you probably know that we had a little bit of a shake-up out here yesterday morning. I live on the island of Oahu, which is a fair distance from the epicenter of the quake, so the shaking wasn't too bad. It was strong enough to rattle the windows, knock down a couple of poorly hung pictures, and totally freak out the kids and dog, but no real damage occurred. It was also strong enough to shut down the power grid, so we spent most of the wet, rainy day inside with no power. Things are back to normal now, and I'll have a couple of more earthquake-related posts later on today or early tomorrow, once I get caught up on things.

I'm glad to hear that you came through OK.
My sister-in-law and her family live in Kona, just 20km from the epicenter. Their house is still standing, but all of their china, etc. is destroyed.
I'd blame the quake on them, BTW. They moved to Hawaii after the Northridge quake here in SoCal. They were even closer to the epicenter of that one!
Glad things are ok at your place.
