September 5, 2016 – The U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) recorded a magnitude-4.0 earthquake beneath the Island of Hawaiʻi on Tuesday, September 6, 2016, at 4:25 a.m., HST. Shallow just 1.4 deep. <br />The USGS “Did you feel it?” Web site received only one felt report within an hour of the earthquake. This report described light shaking (Intensity III). At that intensity, damage to buildings or structures is not expected. The lack of felt reports is consistent with the remote location <br />Magnitude-4 or greater earthquakes occurred in the summit of Mauna Loa six to seven months prior to the volcano’s two most recent eruptions in 1975 and 1984. However, today’s isolated earthquake does not represent a significant departure from the seismic activity rate for the past year, so the Volcano Alert Level for Mauna Loa will remain at Advisory. <br />Read more here <br />http://marygreeley.com/?page_id=35881
