Earthquake shakes Maui Hawaii
POSTED: November 4, 2010
The Maui News - An earthquake off the coast of Hawai‘i Island was
reported by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) on Friday, Oct. 29.
The USGS said a magnitude-3.9 earthquake occurred at 3:09 p.m. Friday,
about four miles northwest of Honoka‘a, Hawai‘i, and about seven miles
below the Earth’s surface.
Makawao resident Rose Freitas said she was taking a nap with her cat
curled up beside her when she heard her windows rattling. “My windows
just shook, and my walls and the bed shook too,” she said. The sleeping
cat leaped out of her bed and ran into another room. “She felt it too,”
Freitas said.
