Wait what…? Yes thats right, there was an earthquake here on Sunday. Quite the moving experience. I was sitting in front on my computer at the time. It felt like some big machine was driving infront of the house. Everything vibrarted for a little bit, slowly getting stronger. Then the actaul shaking started. My bed started shaking back and forth, just enough that I could feel it. It got a little strong than that and then stoped. There were a few aftershocks, where were felt as more shaking back and forth. Â
Being on Oaha some could say I got it easy. The Big Island (Hawaii) got the full force of the 6.6 so buidlings and walls fell. But here, we were out of power for most of the day. Some places didn’t even get power untill 1 in the morning. People were flocking to the stores to buy food, water, and bateries. Because the stores didn’t want to let people inside when the power was out, the stores setup a booth out front and would bring items out one customer at a time. This made for really long lines in front of stores, but people were still able to buy things. The most interesting thing about the power outage to me, is that most people had wireless phones in their house. When the power went out, their phones didn’t work anymore, even though the phone line was fine. The following day all the stores on the island were out of phones that didn’t require power. Home Depo had generators on 4 month back order. Alot of places were out of food on monday, because it had spoiled durning the blackout.
