A magnitude 4.5 earthquake shook the Waikoloa region of Hawaii island this morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The quake was centered on land and did not generate a tsunami, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
At about 7:30 a.m., the quake struck and was centered about about 13 miles south-southwest of Waimea and about 14 miles deep. It was also about 32 miles from both Hilo and Kailua-Kona, according to the USGS.
The USGS’ “Did you feel it?” self-reported online survey garnered more than two dozen immediate responses, mostly from around the Big Island.
