By HNN Staff Published: May. 22, 2022 at 11:56 AM PDT|Updated: 10 hours ago HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A 4.7-magnitude quake rattled Hawaii Island early Sunday and could be felt as far away as Kauai. There was no tsunami threat.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake was centered about one mile east-northeast of Kailua-Kona at a depth of about seven miles below sea level.
More than 1,000 residents reported feeling the quake, with many describing the shaking as moderate.
The USGS warned there was the possibility for light damage to buildings, but none was immediately reported.
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said the tremor is only the second beneath the Hualalai volcano in the last 20 years that’s registered at a magnitude-4.0 or greater.
Scientists said the quake was due to slip along a fault and doesn’t appear to be linked to magma activity.
The earthquake also did not have any apparent effect on Mauna Loa or Kilauea volcano, which is currently erupting at the summit crater.
Hualalai is the third most active volcano on Hawaii Island, behind Mauna Loa and Kilauea.
Scientists said it typically erupts two to three times every 1,000 years. The last time it erupted was 1801.
I mean, I’m not looking to get into any fights with any gods today, but please tell Pele not to mess with my coffee, man!
“please tell Pele not to mess with my coffee”
That depends. Is it Kona coffee?
Yes! Pretty good coffee.
Kona coffee is my favorite. Stiring up the soil a little ;)
Throw in the virgin!
Put. The. Rock. Back.
I'd settle for Mazie Hirono. Probably the first good thing she'd have done for the U.S.
What’s the on the ground report?
***What’s the on the ground report?***
Right now its a little shakey, but it looks like things are heating up.
So strange. I just now finished watching “I Shouldn’t Be Alive” with a helicopter that had engine failure over the crater, and crash landed inside the Big Island volcano.
It was also the first time I’d heard of ‘Pele’...
It is kapu for a haole to know about that. You are the one that made Pele mad.
How about those people in Kilauea, Hawaii who built their homes right next to an active volcano and then wonder why they have lava in the living room.
