Hawaii experienced the biggest earthquake in more than two decades as a 6.7 magnitude quake hit the island on Sunday 15th of October. There were no reports on casualties or any injuries. There were not many problems in buildings and in the Hawaiian infrastructure in general but officials are inspecting many bridges, roads, schools and other buildings to make sure that all can operate without problems.

No serious damages have been reported in hotels and resorts and other tourism facilities and no tourist have been killed or injured. There were many cancellations in flights to Hawaii as United Airlines cancelled eleven flights on Sunday.
Harmony Airways started operating normally their flights from Canada into Honolulu International Airport.

The quake hit at 7:07 a.m. (1607 GMT), 10 miles (16 kilometers) north-northwest of Kailua-Kona, on the west coast of the Big Island. On Monday 16th of October, the U.S. Geological Survey raised its measurement of the magnitude to 6.7 from a preliminary 6.6.

At least one stretch of road leading to a bridge near the epicenter collapsed, Civil Defence Agency spokesman Dave Curtis said. Several other roads on the Big Island were closed by mudslides, debris and boulders, but most were still passable, he said.
