This one didn't bother us, but it was 7.5 or so, preceeding the growth of a new Island being born, like one day we'll see at Loiki! Better yet there was a 5.0 on the only island between it and us this week on Monday.

Krakatoa was a new island being built and generated a 125' tsunami which would wrap around this island for sure. So glad I'm not oceanfront!

This was the result in Hawaii.

HAWAII: A small oscillation of only 0.24 meters was recorded by the Honolulu tide gauge on the island of Oahu, 17 hours after the explosion of Krakatoa.

I don't think I am too worried.
