Summary

Kaoiki, Hawaii, Earthquake November 16, 1983. Main meeting room and library at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. Bookcases were torn from the back wall and fell onto the table. Storage cabinets were moved as much as half a meter. Pre-earthquake location of the cabinets is documented by dust marks on the floor behind and to the right of the plastic waste bin. Smoked-drum seismographs (obscured by easel) located under the windows on the right were temporarily out of order because their drive mechanisms jammed. Photo by J.D. Griggs, 1983. Figure 44.11, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 1350.
