Oh, the horror...

We had a 6.6 magnitude earthquake this morning and here is the extent of our damage. We're pretty lucky as I think about it. Our house is on the side of a hill so the house above us is, literally, right above us. There's been reports of lots of debris, loose rocks, and even some rock walls that have collapsed. It would have seriously sucked if a rock on the front side of our place had come loose and rolled through our front door.

On the news they interviewed some tourists in Waikiki that somehow heard that there was a tsunami coming so a bunch of them were running up towards Diamond head to high ground. I kinda felt sorry for them cause they don't realize that if something like that were coming the civil defense sirens would be going off (they go off the first Monday of every month as a test) and that they'd be better off going up to the higher floors of the hotels. Perhaps they should provide some sort of literature with some basics in hotel rooms for all the tourists.
