it goes by the 10th power, not times 10 like power rod said.
Ah you guys care about me. Anyway, man what a ride. Right in the middle of that puppy. The thing is here it was crystal clear out the whole day and hot as hell. Oahu was raining and ugly. We got our power up in a couple of hours. Oahu is still not fully up. The thing here was it did something to the cable comapny so we had no internet for awhile. Nothing big happened here excpet the hospital got some damage. It is really old. The roads on the other side (Hamakua) got fucked up. Allot fo rock slides. Waves were messy but the water was really nice and blue. My fridge ended up in the middle of my kitchen. All the stuff in the cupboards fells down. Pics on wals screwed up a little. But nothing serious. The thing most everyone here was worried about was the tsunami. I live right on the water and would be swimming if one came. It would be a madhouse if that happened. No one got hurt I think. No high rises are here. The tallest buildings are the hotels. What was funny was the people who live below me (I have a condo) thought I was dancing at first. They came out laughing their brains out. Anyway, it was a wild ride. I'm waiting for the volcano to blow. then we coudl be in trouble.
if i'm not pulling this out of my ass, eathquake measurements run in tens.so a level 1 is a certain movement, level 2 is ten times worse than 1, 3 is ten times worse than 2, etc. so yeah, 6.6 is pretty massive.
onlyme is not the wrestler earthquake, get your facts straight
