We bought a house that was built in the early 70's on a slab, in Keaau downtown area. It has survived the '75 quake, and the slab was unscathed then & now. Today we did not feel the shake (nor did people at our on slab church built in the 50's) as much as some of the people around on post & pier (all we felt was a gentle fluid motion). Our neigborhood has a majority of older plantation type homes, and ~20% slab, almost all homes pre-'75. No one that we talked to today, here in Keaau, has any quake complaints from today.
