The Big Island is doing the Hula.

A strong earthquake shook Hawaii early Sunday, jolting residents out of bed and causing a landslide that blocked a major highway. Ceilings crashed at a hospital, and aftershocks kept the state on edge.

I attended college in Hawaii, at the University of Hilo. I loved my time in Hawaii and have been back to the other islands on a few other occasions. I hope that the wonderful people of Hawaii are safe and that this is not a harbringer of more problems for the islands.

6.6 is a pretty healthy earthquake, even for Alaskans, and we get shaken fairly regularly.
