Hey guys! Just saw this thread!
I'm A-OK! Thanks for the sweet words! hehe I slept through the quake. I went out until like 4 am saturday night... the earthquake was a few hours later... and needless to say I was EXHAUSTED so it didnt rouse me at all! didn't awake until the heat got me up. haha. I have a bookshelf over my window and my bed is near my window and a few paperbacks fell off the shelf and onto my bed... haha. I was OUT. lol!
The worst part was no electricity and LOTS of rain. So I spent most of my day making jewelry and reading. We didn't even have a phone, our phones are all cordless and need electricity to work and my cell was dead, so I didn't hear much about what was going on until my parents came over and told me what was going on! hehe, we don't even get radio on my side of the island so it was really WEIRD not knowing anything. My mom had to wait in a line to get groceries and no one knew if we would be getting electric back or not yesterday, but we finally did around dusk. And boy was I happy to have light! So few hours later some friends and I went out and saw a movie and had dinner. it was sooo weird... all the buisness areas were without electric (Waikiki, Ala Moana, Ward) and totally deserted. I dont think I will ever see that again in my lifetime.
