The 4.2 earthquake abroad fell from the large Hawaiian island on Tuesday morning, but officials said it was not expected to be a ysunami.
Located 5:37 pm in the southeast of the Pāhala community, off the southern beach of the big island, at 9:37 am local time (3:37 pm Easter), according to the American Geological Survey.
“A local earthquake – 4.0 volume off the Ka’u coast on the big island. Perhaps shaking in some areas, but tsunami has not been created.”
Usgs said that TIMBLOR is unlikely to result from damage.
“There is no harm to the expected buildings or infrastructure based on the severity of the earthquake,” he said.
The agency received about 40 reports from those who said they felt the earthquake.
The American geological survey measured in size 4.2. The agency said that the depth of Temblor was about 20 miles below the surface of the ocean.
Temblor was shook in a series of small earthquakes in the region in the past few days, which ranged in size from 1.5 to 2.3. Kīlauea Volcano in Big Island remained active last week, as USGs recorded many events as the Halema’ua’u hole broke out, and the burst lava and veiled steam cried.
“The earthquake had no clear effect on Mona Lua or Clawian volcano,” said USGs.
The area has been a multiple small earthquake site, described by USGs as a “seismic squadron”, since 2019.
“The earthquakes were observed in this area at least in the 1960s,” he said.
