I just noticed on Yahoo Buzz! that there was a Hawaii Earthquake on Sunday morning. Makes you wonder why life is so feable….we could be ash any second…More news on the quake.

check out this video that was shot during the quake..

There were quite a few earthquakes, and there were some deep, moderate sized earthquakes (M 3.3-4.7) in the general vicinity of the Oct. 15 earthquake. Perhaps the least and the intermediate principle stresses were very similar in magnitude and those events perturbed the stress field enough to switch them changing the style of faulting (for that event) from thrust to strike slip (of course that’s just speculation on my part).
