Earthquake; Kipahulu Thanksgiving


We just had another earthquake. Fairly minor compared to the big one last month, but the house shook pretty good for several seconds. Hopefully that's the last of it for today.

And Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We all have much to be grateful for.

We're headed out to Kipahulu for Thanksgiving, where there is a imu at the kitchen. Kalua Turkey! We have to walk across the closed bridge and catch a ride from there. Here's a Star-Bulletin article on the Kipahulu Thanksgiving. It has been a big community potluck for years, but this year does hold special significance, first because it is the first Thanksgiving with the kitchen operational, and second because of the community's isolation due to the bridge closure, which has brought everyone together even more. I'll post photos tomorrow hopefully, and share more about the overall situation in Kipahulu, where I've been helping with communications and coordination since the bridge closure.

Update: Being reported as a 4.5 or 5.0 quake off the Big Island in the same location as last month's.

Update 2: Civil Defense is saying no tsunami threat. Some power outages and road closures on Big Island.

I know it's a holiday, but the quake happened around 9:20 it took the Advertiser 55 minutes and the Star-Bulletin over an hour to post breaking news items about the quake. Seems like it shouldn't take that long.

Update 11/24: Advertiser article and Star-Bulletin article about the quake. And here's the Maui News article.

Update 11/25: Advertiser reports another quake this morning of the north coast of the Big Island, mag 4.3. We didn't feel this one (but we were sleeping at the time).
