Michelson is down due to the earthquake in Hawaii (M=6.9)

[Miyazaki et. al.]

An earthquake (Magnitude=6.9) was happened on 2018-05-04 22:32:55(UTC) in Hawaii (Ref. USGS (https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/search/)).
It triggered Lock-Loss of Michelson.
The distance between Japan and Hawaii is about 6400 km.
From Miyazaki's analysis, it spends about 550 sec for P-wave to come, about 1000 sec for S-wave as shown in the first attached figure.
When we check the signal of seismometer in KAGRA, the first small and second large motions start at 22:43 (UTC) and 22:51 (UTC), respectively, as shown in the second attached figure.
That is consistent with the analysis.
