Hopefully he's not having any problems Yup, we are about 10 miles from the epicenter. I was using the computer at the time, grabbed it and held on to keep it from going on the floor, I am happy to say I saved the computer. It is odd because it is a beautiful blue clear day right now and other then the cracks in our walls everything looks very normal. Oh and yes we are on a hillside but the hill is pretty much soild lava here and and did not shift at all, a lot of landside elsewhere on the island thou.

We just got power back on. A lot of cracks in the walls and a lot of broken tiles. A number of our neighbor's roofs have had a lot of damage. Oh and a LOT of broken glass all over the place. I will up load photos in a bit. Scott > > Did you get any damage from the quake? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Scott I'm looking forward to the photos. There was a lot of talk on the cable news channels but not many images. > I'm looking forward to the photos. There was a lot of talk on the cable > news channels but not many images. There are no news crews on this island and so even we are not getting images. They have asked everone to stay off the roads if you can so we have just been hanging out at home. Tomorrow I am going to go out and see if I can get some photos of damage. We don't have tall building here so I don't think there was a lot of damage. Here are a few photos showing some of the damage in the neighborhood, mostly it was roofs that got most of the damage. One of the photos shows our rock wall, which came through in good shape, just lost a couple of rocks. Some rock walls in the Kona area came all the way down. http://www.pbase.com/konascott/earthquake We had a ton of broken glass all over the floor. As far as I can tell we only have one rook tile that is busted. We have a lot of cracks in the walls and broken tiles in the bathrooms. Over all we came out pretty good.

Glad to hear that you and your family came through this event with minimum damage. All of the Mainland is watching and praying. Draco Getting even isn't good enough. > http://www.pbase.com/konascott/earthquake May of those seem underexposed. Maybe you should have used a spot meter. >> Did you get any damage from the quake? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Scott I will look forward to seeing them, as my father in-law is there at the moment. He was about 12 miles from the EC and said the noise was amazing! He didn't even hear the 2 large television sets in his unit hit the floor and smash... the first he knew of those was when he walked out of the bedroom. He reckons the room was shifting about a foot either way during the quake and for an aussie that would be scary as we are rather geologically stable here and the only time the ground moves under our feet is when we are at the beach. > I will look forward to seeing them, as my father in-law is there at the > moment. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > here and the only time the ground moves under our feet is when we are at the > beach. We get a lot of earthquakes here, but mostly in the 3-4 range. This one started like anyother earthquake we have had, but just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger. We are still getting aftershocks but this are more like what we are use to so no big deal.

Thanks for the pix, and it certainly brings back memories of SF in 1989... esp. groups of people standing outside and talking. Glad you are fine, min. damage to your home, and are grabbing the camera as well.

Have to admit you guys are tough......living through earth tremors like that as a regular part of living. I'm uneasy when a heavy 18 wheeler goes by my house shaking the place up! lol. I heard it was a 6.6 on the scale. =:^0 You take care and be careful of all that glass. Best wishes, Helen > > Did you get any damage from the quake? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Scott Glad you made it through without too much damage. Now go check and make sure your insurance is up to date. I see a new EOS1DsMKII in your future. Or at least a 5D to replace the 20D that "fell off the counter." >> Did you get any damage from the quake? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Scott Just back from helping my daughter and family shift into a new home, so missed the news. Pleased to hear you're ok, Scott - from New Zealand, aka The Shaky Isles as the Aussies like to call us. It's been a while since we had a decent shake, though predictions are that some areas are overdue for a major. Another daughter who lives in Hong Kong said they had a reasonable shake recently, most unusual for HK. They were 20 floors up in their apartment building, and weren't too happy there for a while.

It seems every time I'm in Shinjuku or Tokyo that I stay on the highest floors of hotels and there's always a "small" earthquake that amplifies the movement the higher up you are... it is very unsettling. I'm glad to have experienced it, but wouldn't want to experience anthing capable of cracking walls... earthquakes here (Laurentian valley) are almost fun novelties in comparison.
