Being the center of the quake was off shore and deep, I would thing that the
mountain they are on would have buffered the shaking a lot.
It wasn't that far off-shore, just a few miles. It was a deep quake,
though -- 24 miles down.

Only thing that
gets me is most quakes come from the new island that's southeast of the big
island and will not brake surface for another 1,000+ Years. I ;ived in
Honolulu for a number of years, once while living in a high rise about 73,
we had a small quake hit Oahu and as I was laying on the couch, I watched
the view of the lani go up and down for about 3 mins. I lived in a high rise
called KPT and was state housing.
Wonder if a new magma chanber has opened under the big island.
It wouldn't have to be a NEW magma chamber. The earthquake's
epicenter is only a few miles north of Hualalai. Hualalai is an
often-overlooked volcano on the Big Island. But it erupted as recently
as 1801, and scientists suspect that it might not be extinct just yet.
