These non-event "news" reports about quakes in this news source are so silly. It's like reporting, "There were no traffic accidents on the Mauna Loa summit trail last night." Whoever's in charge of inserting such silliness needs to read up on magnitude scale. By the way, one day I never did hike to the summit.

True, but in a way, it kind of worries me that SOMETHING is going on with the Earth's plates up there and it's just a matter of time, probably sooner not later, that another quake DOES generate another tsunami. We better all save those extra supplies we bought a few days ago!
