And now an earthquake?!
Yes, there was an earthquake. Here's a link to the map.It was centered over the Pu`u `O`o Crater which is the currently active vent of Kilauea Volcano. It might have been a big deal if we were still linving in a tent in the jungle, as it was centered only a few miles from da Banana Boys. However here, on the other side of two mountains, we only felt some rocking and rolling. We are still waiting to hear from da Banana Boys that everything is OK over there.
We are still in "the calm before the storm" stage, so its a beautiful morning. The hurricane will first hit the south east side of Mauna Loa which is around the bulge from us. We should see a lot more action after the eye passes the island and the trailing edge pulls up warm water and air from the equator.
