This morning there was a huge earthquake in Kailua Kona.
I was at SRM and during praise & worship, the whole building (warehouse) started abruptly shaking .. and the huge lights swung back and forth as they flickered off since the power went out. Outside, people said that the road was rolling like waves and cars were moving up and down. Then, goingback home along old Mamalahoa HWY, there was a lot of rock walls that had fallen down as well as a spot where a small part of the road fell rolled off the hill... and then, an old coffee shack got tipped sideways.
It is AMAZING how fast news gets around. seriously. news reports, videos, pictures...
