THANKSGIVING 2006 | 5.0 mag. Earthquake shakes Hawaii November 23rd at 9:20 HST

According to official USGS data on the area, a 5.0 magnitude quake centered 13 miles north of Kailua-Kona on the Big Island, Hawaii, rumbled through the island chain at 9:20 AM, Thanksgiving morning. Of those who noticed the tremor, most were closest to the epicenter. No tsunami was triggered by the quake; nor causing significant interruption to normal island life.

This morning's earthquake is the sixth minor to moderate quake (3.0 ≾ above) for the Hawaiian Islands since the 6.7 quake last October 15, which caused serious property damage and resulted in power outages on all islands, including tourist mecca Waikiki Beach.

This morning on the windward side of O'ahu, I felt zip, nada, nothing. The October 15th, 6.7 one -- yep, that one I definitely noticed -- and while living through it, I watched the water in my pool bounce around like boiling water -- a very weird visual which I dare any special effects artist to realistically recreate.
