Magnitude 6.3 Earthquake Strikes Hawaii

[Kevy Baby]

My dad and his wife are in Hawaii. We got this email from him about an hour-and-a-half ago:

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.

Which explains why I couldn't reach him on his cell!

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