A magnitude 4.8 earthquake shook the southeastern flank of Mauna Loa volcano on Hawaii island overnight, the U.S. Geological Survey said today.
The quake struck at about 1:42 a.m and was centered about 3.7 miles southwest of Pahala and 48 miles southwest of Hilo, at a depth of about 24 miles, USGS said.
No tsunami was generated.
The USGS’ “Did you feel it?” online survey for the earthquake garnered hundreds of responses throughout the Big Island.
