So sorry that it took me awhile to get back here. Just when I
was starting to come here every day again we had that earthquake
on Sunday October 15! Over the next few days there were over
100 aftershocks, each further weakening structures on the Big Island
of Hawaii that were alreay damaged from the 2 big quakes on the 15th.

Just about all the damage was on that island. Here on Oahu we did
feel ALOT of shaking and it was so scary when it just would not stop
after a few seconds. Then 7 minutes later another big quake. Yikes!!

We are okay tho and a few things fell off shelves, but that's about it.
Not so good on the Big Island where the damages total over 100 million
bucks so far. Damaged homes, roads, reservoirs, homes condemned.

Anyway, I am glad to be back on board and will try to catch up with
everyone over the next few days.

Hugs,
Cindy

Glad your back, safe and sound. We were worried about you and held you in our prayers...

Sooooo glad to hear you are okay. We were all concerned for you and praying for your safety.

Welcome home, hun.

diamond, I can't imagine the fear during that time. Gald to hear you are okay.

Has anyone you know ventured to the Big Island ?

Thank you all.

Yes, Dotsie, everything is as usual for that island except for the
people who had damaged homes. Some had cracks so big that you could
see the sky through them. Some had huge sinkholes in their yards!

The Big Island has a decent population of 150,000-200,000.
The area near the big resorts where the quakes occured was not
known for having them; usually quakes are on the other side where
the volcanoes are.

Life is so subject to change, isn't it......

Hugs, Cindy
