There is no apparent impact to Mauna Loa or Kīlauea volcanoes following a 4.1 magnitude earthquake that rattled the Ka‘ū District this afternoon.
The tumbler occurred 9 miles east-southeast of Nāʻālehu at a depth of 23 miles below sea level at 1:43 p.m. The earthquake is part of a seismic swarm under the Pāhala area, which has been going on since 2019.
Earthquakes in this region have been observed at least as far back as the 1960s. Click here for more information.
The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory continues to monitor Hawaiian volcanoes for any changes.
