Hey there! We haven't been able to contact friends who live in Ewa Beach...is there anyone from Oahu who has internet service back up?

What's it like out there? Better, I hope! Please let us know everything is ok!
 
I thought the earthquake happened on the big island? Did it affect the others as well? I really haven't watched it on the news. I did use to live on Oahu 10 years ago.

Oahu's electric was knocked out totally. They were without electric all day Sunday, and while it was coming back online slowly, most of the island was still out today.

The Honolulu Airport was still shut down last I heard. Can't reach our friends, just hoping they get their power back soon.
 
I have a subscriber on Oahu who was able to email me when I checked in with her last night. She has roadrunner ISP.

I heard from my friends this morning. All is well. Their power was out for the day, and phone service is still touchy, but all is well. They have an inground pool in their backyard and she said it looked like "a little tsunami" because the water was rolling from one end to the other!
