A magnitude 4.3 earthquake struck just southwest of Volcano on Hawaii island Saturday afternoon.
A magnitude 4.3 earthquake rattled the summit region of Kilauea volcano Saturday afternoon.
At 4:25 p.m., the quake hit about 4.2 miles south-southwest of the town of Volcano and 23.5 miles southwest of Hilo, at a depth of less than 0.2 miles, according to preliminary data from the U.S. Geological Survey.
The quake did not generate a tsunami, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center confirmed, adding “some areas may have experienced shaking.”
The USGS’ “Did you feel it?” self-reported online survey recorded dozens of immediate responses, mostly from Volcano, but also from Hilo, Keaau and Pepeekeo.
