A mild earthquake shook Kilauea volcano before dawn today.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude 3.6 quake struck at 5:45 a.m. about 3.3 miles south-southwest of Volcano and about 25 miles south-southwest of Hilo at a depth of roughly 7.5 miles.

The USGS’ online “did you feel it?” survey received dozens of responses from throughout the Big Island.

The quake was not large enough to cause a tsunami for Hawaii island.
