I was getting physical therapy. I thought that shuttering was me crying?!
I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"

Felt it as a jolt in Kapoho. I was sitting quietly on the couch. Not sure if I would have felt it if I were up and running around.

Hate to ask, but when an earthquake is as close to land as this one was, isn't there a chance it could generate a local tsunami such as was at Halape (bottom of Volcano park) and another in Kau at an old landing
there.
Those give little warning, and are inside the warning bouys. Also, I belive Hamakua is a worry because quakes can cause landslides, as is obvious on all other north and east facing islands.
And why in the USGS printout previously posted was this graded as a poor earthquake?
RE: Did you feel it? - Carey - 03-09-2009
The quality of an earthquake is rated from excellent to poor - excellent are earthquakes that register on global seismic detectors, poor are detected on local seismic detectors... so this mornings quake was a locally detectable quake (and fairly localized, given the fact is was a moderate depth (19 km ) 4.0. Most of Puna felt a bump, but Hamakua felt a jolt)
