Just to follow up on what Enna said: HONOLULU - A strong earthquake shook Hawaii early Sunday, jolting residents out of bed and causing a landslide that blocked a major highway. Hundreds of hotel guests and hospital patients were evacuated, and aftershocks kept the state on edge.
Gov. Linda Lingle issued a disaster declaration for the state, saying there had been damage to buildings and roads. There were no reports of fatalities, but the state Civil Defense had several reports of minor injuries.
The quake hit at 7:07 a.m. local time, 10 miles north-northwest of Kailua Kona, a town on the west coast of Hawaii Island, also known as the Big Island, said Don Blakeman, a geophysicist at the National Earthquake Information Center, part of the U.S. Geological Survey.

I didn't know either. :either: Like Kitakaze, I stopped watching the news long ago, but I didn't hear anything on the radio this morning coming down to work. Did this earthquake occur today? (sowy if someone posted it and I missed the mention). _________________

it might help, but she might misunderstand and start threatening you w/ a pair of flip flops.
