On Early morning Sunday, the residence of Hawaii, our 50th state suffered from a massive earthquake. The earthquake had a magnitude of 6.6. The earthquake affected all of Maui and 99% of the Big Island. The quake and its aftershocks caused structural damage to buildings, but there were no reports of fatalities. The aftershock was casued seven minutes later, measuring 5.8 struck 145 miles southeast of Honolulu from a depth of nearly 12 miles. During the next seven hours, 53 aftershocks reverberated in the state, though none of them with a magnitude exceeding 4.4, the USGS said.
Across the state, residents reported little panic, and for some the loss of power meant it was time to sit outside, set up barbecues and talk with friends and neighbors, according to an Associated Press report.
United Airlines canceled 11 flights to and from Hawaii on Sunday, airline spokesman Brandon Borrman said.

Why did I blog about this? Because this is one of the effects of Global Warming. We do not exactly understand how Global Warming is working, and very few people are fighting for our environments. It is funny how almost everyblog in this website is the right of a certain race, or a certain life-style, or certain things in life. Yet, we do not seem to worry about the effects of Global Warming on Earth. Do you not realize how soon the end will come????
