Last earthquake you felt in Honolulu/Oahu...? (living in, law)

Seems like the Big Island gets all the earthquakes, volcanoes, etc.

But, over on Oahu/Honolulu, when was the last time you felt an earthquake while in Oahu/Honolulu?

I gather that you are in Japan?? It is terrific you have such immense interest in the Hawaiian chain and are here it seems, daily. Wonderful ! Readers may find this article about "man's" typical attitude until a disaster occurs, very interesting, as it happens over & over in events we see. Hopefully, not in any local earthquake scenario!
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — More than three decades before Superstorm Sandy, a state law and a series of legislative reports began warning New York politicians to prepare for a storm of historic proportions, spelling out scenarios eerily similar to what actually happened: a towering storm surge; overwhelming flooding; swamped subway lines; widespread power outages. The Rockaway peninsula was deemed among the "most at risk." But most of the warnings and a requirement in a 1978 law to create a regularly updated plan for the restoration of "vital services" after a storm went mostly unheeded, either because of tight budgets or the lack of political will to prepare for a hypothetical storm that may never hit.

(Guess they were mistaken)

2006 was the last significant earthquake felt in Oahu - power was out quite a long time.

The last one I personally felt was in 2010 when I was living in Hawaii Kai.

Last one I felt was in 2006, and there was one a couple months before that.

I felt the one in Feb 2011 (Hawaii earthquake jolts Honolulu - CBS News) but I was the only one who did. I was in my office... went out into the hall and said, "hey, did anyone feel that earthquake?!" But the answer was universally no. I think if you were doing anything other than just sitting at your desk thinking, you didn't feel it.
