She said it was weird because it lasted so long, like a good 30 seconds.

Things got rattled around. She said a few things fell, but thankfully that was it.

Oddly enough, the week before Memorial Day was also when me and family had gone to Hawai'i too, except 40 years ago (1986).

They had to evacuate once.

So far, no notice from them.
