How Is Turtleguy

[ralphl]

Any news from Roger and Lisa? With the quake in Hawaii today are Turtleguy and Justlisa doing ok?

Haven't caught all the news yet to see which island it was, but concerned about them.

He is on Oahu not the big island. I have talked to a friend there today. They have had alot of rain and major power outages.

The Big Island had a little rock and roll, the earthquake was centered about 25 miles NW of Kailua-Kona It was a very strong shake up. Some damage to some roads, a couple of hotels have cosmetic damage. Power was out for about 4 hours. Damage to the hospital. Part of the cliff face fell into Kealakekua Bay, huge dust cloud. Most everything is back to normal. Last I hear Oahu still has power problems, probably due to rain. Weather permitting I am diving tomorrow. I want to try my Mistral with new Yellow hoses and my RAM with a better backpack.

I'm also glad to hear that everything is most likely okay, obviously Tim is fine, and hopefully so is Turtleguy, and the damage was relatively light for a magnitude 6.6 earthquake. That, and no tsunami, will give us reason for thanks in our prayers tonight.

Aloha All
Thanks for the good thoughts. The Earthquake hit as I was leaving for the harbour. When I got there, the Coast Guard had just called a Tidal Wave Alert. I told our divers about that and everyone took off for higher ground. Its been a long day without power. I am really glad not to be a tourist here in Waikiki. Imagine a hotel room on the 20th floor and no electricity, or being stuck in the elevator. Almost all resturants and stores closed.
But Lisa and I are fine. Just got power back around 9 tonight.
Aloha
