Earthquake in Hawaii?!!!

Yup, believe it or not, there are earthquakes in Hawaii! There was just one earthquake about 2-3 days ago. It was about a 4.7. Most of the earthquakes occur near the Big Island, where there is still an active volcano. I actually experienced my first earthquake in Hawaii about 5-6 years ago. It was probably around a 5, but I slept through most of it. Because of the earthquake, there was no electricity for one day! Most restaurants were closed and almost all supermarkets, convenience stores, and many other stores were closed. So, it was really hard to find food and to also cook food. Most homes in Hawaii use electric stoves so most people could not cook. We went to one restaurant at night, but it was about a 3 hour wait! Most areas had electricity by 11pm.

The largest earthquake in Hawaii occurred on April 3, 1868. It was 7.9 earthquake! A tsunami also hit Hawaii as well.
