Or so says the headlines at MSNBC, which is quickly turning into the WTF? network. The quake was scary, for sure. The rest of the day was a bit anti-climatic. Having no power was a pain, but by 9pm most of the grid was back up and running. It was an inconvenience, but hardly a nightmare - and all the tourists I saw were taking it in stride.
My favorite line from the article, though, was this: Beaches were devoid of sunbathers and largely deserted, save for a few dozen die-hard surfers in Waikiki. It was cold and raining. The skies were grey and we didn't see the sun all day. Of course the beaches were empty. And there was no swell - the "die-hard surfers" were poor tourists conned into buying surf lessons on a day with no waves.
