Four earthquakes hit Hawaii island on Friday and late Thursday, three in the area of Kilauea Volcano.
A fourth quake, at magnitude-4.3, struck the island at 9:16 p.m. Friday. The epicenter was 1.9 miles west-southwest of Honalo, a bit north of Kealakekua Bay, at a depth of 7 miles.
The first, with a magnitude of 2.5, hit 3.7 miles southwest of Volcano at a depth of 1.9 miles. It happened at 5:30 p.m. Thursday.
The second, magnitude-2.7, had an epicenter 9 miles southeast of Volcano. It struck at 11:18 a.m. Friday at a depth of 3.3 miles.
The third, magnitude-3, struck at 12:14 p.m. 6 miles southeast of Leilani Estates, in the ocean south of Cape Kumukahi. The depth of the epicenter was 20 miles.
Meanwhile, the 61G lava flow extending southeast of Puu Oo remained active today, with the leading edge about a half-mile from the ocean. The lava lake at Halemaumau Crater continued to circulate and intermittently spatter, according to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.
Hissing and possibly amassing more lava to pour forth a deluge?
Felt it last night, totally thought a car crashed into my home. No damage, except to my psyche, which is already questionable. lol
Thought it was over 5.0
I live in Kona. It sounded like a bomb exploded, very loud and it shook the house. So I was thinking, what is next with the storm approaching tomorrow.
