#Hawaii earthquake

There is no tsunami threat to Hawai‘i following a 4.5 preliminary magnitude earthquake reported at 4:32 p.m. on Thursday, June 17, 2021.

“We see no detectable changes in activity at the summits or along the rift zones of Lōʻihi, Kīlauea, or Mauna Loa as a result of this earthquake. Aftershocks are possible and could be felt.”

Both the magnitude-4.3 and magnitude-3.9 earthquakes on Saturday “appear to be slip along vertical faults caused by southeast motion of Mauna Loa’s south flank.”

“When will Mauna Loa erupt next?” This was the title of a Volcano Awareness Month video presentation released by the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory in January 2021. This was also the topic of discussion among HVO scientists last week following the detection of slight changes in ground deformation and seismicity at the summit of Mauna Loa.

A 4.1 earthquake beneath Kīlauea Volcano’s south flank occurred at 2:09 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 1, 2021.

The Hawai’i Emergency Management Agency says ash fallout from the eruption at Kīlauea is low for Kaʻū and South Kona.

There is no tsunami threat to Hawaiʻi following a 4.4 (preliminary magnitude 4.2) earthquake reported at around 9:28 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 14, 2020 in the Waikoloa Region of the Big Island of Hawaiʻi.

There were no immediate reports of damage following a 3.7 (preliminary magnitude 3.3) earthquake reported at 9:43 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 4, 2020 on Maui. The USGS reports that the quake was located:  2.5 km (1.6 mi) ESE of Paia, Hawaii. There was no immediate advisories issued by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. 

There is no tsunami expected after a preliminary 3.6 magnitude earthquake reported at 5:46 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 16, 2020 in the summit region of Kīlauea Volcano on Hawaiʻi Island.

Two 4+ magnitude earthquakes at Kīlauea this week are confident with a slip along the south flank fault and were likely aftershocks of a large 6.9 earthquake in May of 2018. Kīlauea’s south flank has been the site of 20 earthquakes of magnitude-4.0 or greater during the past 20 years.

There is no tsunami threat to Hawaiʻi after a 4.2 (preliminary magnitude 4.0) earthquake in the Hilina Region of the Kilauea Volcano on Hawaiʻi Island, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.

There is no tsunami threat to Hawaiʻi after a preliminary magnitude 4.8 earthquake reported at 6:36 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 11, 2019 in the Hamakua Coast region of Hawaiʻi Island.

Currently, one of the most active areas of seismicity is Kīlauea’s lower Southwest Rift Zone. This area produces numerous deep earthquakes, mostly at depths of 25-40 km (15-25 miles), beneath the town of Pāhala

There is no tsunami threat to Hawaii after a preliminary magnitude 4.0 earthquake reported this morning at the Loihi Seamount south of the Big Island of Hawaii.

There is no tsunami threat to Hawaiʻi following a 4.3 (preliminary magnitude 4.4) earthquake reported at 4:42 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 12, 2019 offshore of Hilo on Hawaiʻi Island.

This earthquake is part of the continuing adjustments beneath the south flank of Kīlauea following the magnitude-6.9 earthquake that occurred on May 4, 2018.

Early Wednesday morning, just before 1 a.m. on March 13, houses in east Hawai`i began to shake. Without a doubt, it was an earthquake.

There is NO tsunami threat to Hawaiʻi after a 4.6 earthquake reported at 9:07 a.m. on Feb. 7, 2019 approximately 111 miles SW of the Big Island of Hawaiʻi.

Although seismicity decreased over the weekend, frequent tremors over the past 30 days have caused damage throughout the Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park.

Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reports that a collapse/explosive event at Kīlauea summit occurred at 11:43 a.m. on Monday, July 16, 2018.
