Talk:2006 Kiholo Bay earthquake

Commentary removed
''On the island of Maui, the tremor was felt by people in their beds causing them to flee outdoors to safety or to stand in open doorways. Electric service was interrupted briefly but was restored island-wide before noon as life quickly returned to normal.''
 * I've removed this, and will comment here in case the anon decides to add it back into the article. It's original research, but even if the anon comes up with a source, I want to point out how inaccurate it is: At the time of the quake on Maui, thousands of people were outside enjoying the Sunday morning, walking, jogging, sailing, fishing, etc.  Yes, many were in bed, but many were awake as well.  Very few people "fled" outdoors.  How many people stood in dorways is unknown.  It's unclear as to the extent of the power outage, but I suspect most parts of the island suffered brief power outages, while others lost power for up to seven hours.  I'm not sure how "brief" is defined.  It's certainly false that power was restored across the island before noon.  Life most certainly did not return to normal, as many businesses closed for the day, and residents with family on the Big Island and Oahu were very concerned.  There's also a typical flash flood watch/warning in effect to compound the issue, with heavy rains making damage estimates more difficult. &mdash;Viriditas | Talk 18:38, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Finding this page
It seems that if you query Hawaii Earthquake or even Hawaii Earthquake 2006, this page is not listed as one of the top finds. Is there a reason why a search for Hawaii Earthquake returns a Earthquake Baroque as it's first find? --Eraticus 05:30, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Good find. Yes, the ext. link on Earthquake Baroque is hosted by an hawaii.edu address, hence the funny result.  Sounds like it's time to create a new dab page with a list of hawaii earthquake pages.  &mdash;Viriditas | Talk 09:08, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Map problem
I don't see letters in the infobox map. why? -- TheFE ARgod (Ч) 22:13, 20 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I think its just because it is a gif scaled down. I can try to fix by cropping the image to remove the unreadable parts, I suppose.

A more interesting question is the epicenter location. This map gives the 19.878°N, -155.935°W location which would be consistent with the local name of "Kiholo Bay earthquake". But it gives magnitude of 6.3 so might have been a preliminary report before all data was processed. However those coordinates match better the location English description than 19.82°N, -156.027°W, which is not in Kiholo bay. Irony is that there is no Kiholo Bay article yet, perhaps because no resorts there (looks like one big private estate). W Nowicki (talk) 16:42, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Origin
What caused this earthquake?  Volcano guy  08:28, 24 November 2012 (UTC)


 * A good question. The USGS summary suggests that it's all about 'slope failure' in a general sense - as the island builds up during successive eruptions, it becomes unstable and collapses away via a series of slumps like the Hilina Slump, which was associated with the 1868 Hawaii earthquake.
