Hawaii – A series of earthquakes shook Hawaii’s Big Island early Monday, with the strongest registering a magnitude of 2.8. The tremors were centered just south-southwest of Volcano, Hawaii, a town near the island’s active volcanic region.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the first quake struck at 5:48 a.m. local time. The earthquake was shallow, occurring at a depth of just 0.8 kilometers. A second quake, also near Volcano, followed shortly after, with a magnitude of 2.6. The third, measuring 2.6, struck near Hōlualoa.
While no significant damage has been reported, the frequent seismic activity in the region has raised concerns among residents. The island, known for its volcanic activity, often experiences such tremors, but the clustered nature of these quakes suggests increased underground movement.
The USGS continues to monitor the situation closely.
