Yesterday's Earthquake!

At about 6:30pm I was watching the local news, when we experienced an earthquake! It shook my house for at least 4-5 seconds, enough time for this conversation: "what it is that?" "it's an earthquake!" It was reported later to be a 4.6 magnitude earthquake, taking place at Kaholawe island, a small island south of Maui. Reports came in from all over the island with in minutes! Reports were made on the news immediately, and to also let us know there was no threat of a tsunami. You could definitely feel the swaying of the house. The last earthquake that was significantly felt all over the island took place around Thanksgiving in 2007.
