Off Days

They had a scheduled off day in the Arizona Fall League.

No box score from the Waikiki - Honolulu game. No story, but I'm pretty sure they did not have a game.

Hawai'i rattles, then loses power statewide

A 6.6-magnitude earthquake centered on the Kona side of the Big Island — the largest to rattle the Islands in 23 years — and a 5.8-magnitude quake that followed disrupted air traffic on all major islands yesterday, sent boulders crashing onto Big Island highways and knocked out power throughout most of the state.

By 10 p.m., a slight majority of Hawaiian Electric Co. Inc.'s 291,000 customers — 157,000 — had power restored.
...

The first quake hit at 7:07 a.m. and was felt as a steady, rumbling shudder that shook houses, cracked buildings, swayed high-rises and knocked artwork from their walls and sent countless chachkas crashing to the ground.

It was located 24 miles below Kiholo Bay on the Big Island, according to the U.S. Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, and was triggered by tectonic movement, not volcanic activity.

A second quake, of 5.8-magnitude, hit just seven minutes later. It was located 13 miles northwest of Kawaihae.


No fatalaties had been reported.
