good thing it was on land tho - and not an underwater one, that would have sent a tsunami into peru...
Not really, to have a tsunami the quake has to be very far away from the coast to give it time to build up. If it's too close to the shore, it can't pick up enough water or speed to cause any major damage.
This is causing a shit tonne of problems for people flying. I spent the entire day calling airlines finding out about their flexibility policies for people in Hawaii, and other various places experiencing natural disasters. This is the beginning of the season for this type of shite.

Well, it's not "normal" I suppose but it isn't "unexpected."

Hurricanes have seasons, floods have seasons, tornadoes have seasons, and they can predict when earthquakes will "season".

As far as I know, earthquakes can happen at any time, and there is no particular "earthquake season".
When I said "This is the beginning of the season for this type of shite," I meant that it is the beginning of the season for the most natural disasters going on.
This time of the year is horrible for traveling. There are hurricanes and shite going on all over the place.
