Yesterday we had a brief scare here in Hawaii. A huge earthquake shook the Island Nation of Samoa triggering Tsunami warnings in New Zealand, Japan, Hawaii, and other Pacific Islands.
This was a small reminder of the risk of living in paradise. Just off the tip of my head I can think of the following natural disasters that could occur here in Hawaii- things that wouldn't happen in the midwest, or never have.
1. Volcanic Explosions
2. Earthquakes
3. Tsunami's
4. Landslides
Ohh Paradise, I guess it will be okay for a while though :)

We have had earthquakes here in the midwest. A fault line goes through the midwest.
Gma
REALLY? I didn't know this gma. why are you so smart?
Didn't we just have a small earthquake in Spring 08? Just curious if anyone else remembers that. I think I was in the shower, but James said he felt it in the morning.
