100s evacuated amid Hawaii aftershocks (AP)

A old coffee shack lies partially collapsed after it slid down a hill in during the earthquake that shook Hawaii on Hawaii Belt Road just above Kailua-Kona Hawaii Sunday Oct. 15 2006. Roads in several places were closed for hours after the earthquake as county crews worked to clear the debris. The state Civil Defense had unconfirmed reports of injuries but communication problems prevented more definite reports. Gov. Linda Lingle issued a disaster declaration for the entire state saying there had been damage to buildings and roads. There were no reports of fatalities.

Hundreds of hotel guests and hospital patients were evacuated and aftershocks kept the state on edge.
