Some thoughts about the earthquake in hawaii

[DeniseGoldberg]

For anyone else who is interested in Hawaii and earthquakes - apparently smaller quakes there are quite common (per the link I've included below, on the scale of thousands per year) and are often related to the volcanic activity. Here's an article about the Big Island and earthquakes: http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/hazards/earthquakes.html. (Source of article: US Geologic Service)

We've been having some little ones here at Mt. Rainier. Usually Mt. Rainier is pretty quiet. Or at least, Mt. St. Helen's gets all the attention.

And Mt. Baker throws out a huge steam cloud every so often. (that gets exciting)

Two of my cycling buddies are competing next weekend at Kona. I haven't heard from them so I'm hopin' and prayin' they're OK. The local news reported that LAX Int'l was jammed with passengers stranded because of canceled flights to Hawaii, some of them camped out at the airport for up to ten hours.

I'd call that scary... If either of those gets mad, Seattle won't have a good time! (Nor probably will Vancouver.)

My coach is in Kona right now. I believe everything should be in order for Saturday - otherwise how heartbreaking to do all that training only to have a little act of nature throw a wrench into it!

We're all going to be tracking him on Ironmanlive on Saturday and referring to this race now as the EarthquakeMan.

Wow. Boulders raining down on the Queen K.

The competition is next week, the NBC broadcast isn't until December! How to wait, how to wait? (Have no choice, have no choice! )

Growing up in Hawaii, I remember feeling an earthquake or two... nothing quite like the frequency in CA though. I haven't been able to reach my family yet due to the phone circuits being overloaded. They are on a different island though so I'm not too terrified... Here's wishing everything returns to normal there soon!
