STORY SUMMARY

ISLAND OF HAWAIʻI - The earthquake was not strong enough to generate a tsunami threat to the Hawaiian Islands.

(BIVN) – A Magnitude-4.6 earthquake struck Hawaiʻi island late Tuesday evening.

The earthquake occurred at 11:49 p.m. HST and was located about 10 miles south-southeast of Fern Forest in the Puna district, about 6 miles below sea level on the south flank of Kīlauea volcano.

Little or no damage was expected from the earthquake, the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory stated.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center reported the quake was not strong enough to generate a tsunami threat for Hawaiʻi.

Episode 37 in the ongoing eruption at the summit of Kilauea ended about 10 minutes before the earthquake struck. The episode of high lava fountaining from the north vent lasted just over 9 hours.
