Four people on the island reported that they felt the temblor on the United States Geological survey’s “Did you Feel it?” website. Those individuals were in Captain Cook, Holualoa, Waikoloa, and Kailua-Kona.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did not issue a tsunami advisory in connection to either of the earthquakes, and HVO did not release information connecting the earthquakes with volcanic activity.
