Extra Credit #5

Hello everyone, a strong earthquake shook Hawaii early Sunday, causing a landslide that blocked a major highway on Hawaii Island and power outages across much of the state. You should collect information about this natural disaster, report it in your own words, attach pictures, and hand it in to me as a well presented report by Friday October 20th. You might want to add information on how often earthquakes hit that area and why they do in comparison to New York.
Mr. Fayad
