Why is the house shaking?!?

So as most of you know by now, we had an earthquake here in Hawaii yesterday. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15286294/ This was my 3rd that I have ever been in, but it was the biggest. Back in 1997 (I think that's the right year) there was a small quake in SC, about 6 weeks ago we had one in HI that was about a 3.2, and of course the 6.6 yesterday. Alex and Hailee each had a friend stay over on Saturday night. At 7:07 AM Sunday morning I was laying on the couch, sound asleep, when I started shaking. I thought the kids were trying to shake me awake. Well, I open my eyes and see no kids. Just my wall unit around my TV swaying and my blinds moving back and forth. Since I'm just waking up and I couldn't really comprehend what was going on, I thought the kids were going crazy up stairs, lol. Then when I realized there was no possible way they could be shaking the whole house I realized it was an earthquake and freaked out. Once things quit shaking, I ran upstairs to check on the kids. They were quietly coloring and Sydnee was still sound asleep (sleeps like her Daddy, lol). Then the electricity went out at around 7:15 AM. I took the kids downstairs, made them some cereal and stepped outside to talk with the neighbors. It was pouring down rain which really didn't make it any easier with the electricity being out. I straightened up the garage so the kids could play in there and we lit the grills so we could cook for lunch and dinner. All in all it wasn't too bad. The kids played so hard that when it came time for bed they were out quick. We finally got electricity back a little before 6 PM. So we were out for a little over 10 hours. Everyone fell back into routine today with school and work. As for Friday, me and Alex had so much fun on his field trip. I took my friends camera so I could get pics for her. Once she gets them developed she is going to give me copies so I will post them asap. Rob is doing good. He gave me his address last night so I can write and send care packages. Hope everyone is well. I will post again later this week.
