Rocking Hawai’i (Not In A Good Way)

Two earthquakes this morning near Kona, including one that was 6.6. Honolulu is experiencing blackout. Some roads on the Big Island are impassable, and there’s some structural damage to hospitals, hotels, and other buildings there and on Maui. Latest info is at here and here. Looks like most other media outlets are down.

It’s strange to be on the other side of the Pacific right now. Much love and strength to the ohana back home who will have to rebuild.

Whoah that was weird!
My little plantation house was swaying like a beast. Electricity is back on though.
