Yesterday's Earth Quake

A  L  O  H  A !

I felt it. 

"That's an earthquake" says I,

playing with a certain kitty 

on the floor 

of my 35th floor apartment

 here in Waikiki 

I felt it.

From the 5.5 

that shook my Kona coffee shack

 in the winter of '88

(that was a dance!)

to the one a few years ago

that was strong enough

 to feel 

on our cement/steel boat (!)

and to cut the electricity 

here on Oahu 

all one Sunday,

I am an old hand 

at Hawaii earthquakes.

Friday, June 21, 2013,

  at 12:04 a.m. local time,

 earthquake 

was noted by authorities.

Preliminary magnitude call was  4.0, 

but it was later scored a 4.5 by the USGS.

The epicenter (USGS) as follows:

 52 mi ENE of Kāneʻohe, which is

35 floors down,

13 miles, and 30 minutes drive

 from here

over the Ko`olau Mountains

via Pali Highway, 

52 mile boat ride,

then deep in the sea.

I felt it :)

Lights are on, 

air is conditioned, 

food is cooking;

BLISS!

wishing YOU the same :)
