Anyone that lives in Makiki felt the ground shake around 8pm on 08/28/2006? Our house did and there was no big truck passing by the house.

Re: Makiki Quake?
YES!!! Not as intense as the last one, but definitely a quake!
Documented, too---file a report here if you felt it:

Re: Makiki Quake?
Felt it in Hawaii Kai. I was doing the dishes and thought it was the pipes rattling, but there were no pipes to my right and that's where the rattle was. I was here with my girls. It was their first one. I wonder what the reading was. I hope there's no tsunami!

Re: Makiki Quake?
I was talking on the phone with a friend in Hawaii Kai. He said he heard / felt something moving, and I also felt some kind of slight swaying in my building. And I am in urban Honolulu. Another friend who I called later told me that someone she knew said that it rocked for about 3 minutes in Kailua. I'm sure the local news is on this already.I'm still here. Are you?

Heard that familiar rumbling sound right before the ground shook and walls rattled mildly. Been through a few skyscraper swaying shindo (omori scale) 3's in Japan; the shindo 5's really rattle your nerves though. This one felt like a shindo 2 and lasted for just a few seconds (near Pearl Harbor).

Re: Makiki Quake?
I'm in Makiki - it was just a sharp jolt where I live. But, things were definitely swaying for a couple of seconds. and this one was much closer to us than the one last month. That's why folks in Windward side felt it more. But, I doubt very much it lasted 3 minutes! I went through 2 MAJOR quakes in California - time really slows down when the earth is moving under you. I've just taken a Valium and and going to go to bed.

Much longer, and I, the hubby, and the dog would have headed for the Russian vodka!
One more time---nastrovia!
