Looks like the Keck observatories on Mauna Kea survived the recent earthquake. It was reported that both Keck I and Keck II suffers minor damages - strained/bent restraining bolts, etc.. Both did rocked back and forth on their mountings. The precision mounts for Keck I were damaged, while Keck II's moving system was damaged.
Both are expected to be back up by end of the week.
