				We are on Maui now and did really feel it.  We are on the 5th floor and lost power (including cell phones and wireless laptop) for about 2 1/2 hours.  We are back up now but they are asking that we NOT use our cell phones yet.

 Further research now indicates that everything east of the San Andreas fault will fall into the Atlantic Ocean.
