Yesterday at 7:11 p.m. HST, a magnitude-4.0 earthquake occurred 6 miles east of Pāhala, Island of Hawaiʻi, at a depth of 20 miles below sea level.
The earthquake, which had no apparent impact on either Mauna Loa or Kīlauea, is part of the seismic swarm under the Pāhala area, which has been going on since 2019. Earthquakes in this region have been observed at least as far back as the 1960s.
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory continues to monitor Hawaiian volcanoes for any changes.
