The National Weather Service reported no tsunami warning after a magnitude 4.7 earthquake rumbled the Hualalai region in West Hawai‘i just before midnight on Saturday, May 21.
The U.S. Geological Survey reported the epicenter to be less than a mile northwest of Hōlualoa. Initially reported as a magnitude 4.5, USGS updated the tremor to 4.7.
