Some were up early to watch NFL football games, others were in church for early services. When a 6.7 magnitude earthquake hit Hawaii on Sunday morning, it shook homes and rattled nerves, say MSNBC.com readers who wrote in with their stories. Power outages of more than 12 hours caused some to break out the barbecues and others to reflect on how little they had on hand for an emergency. Above all, said many, Hawaii's famous "Aloha spirit" shone through.
