(BIVN) – An unusual cluster of earthquakes was recorded in the Hāmākua district on Thursday evening.

The earthquakes were of a similar depth (roughly 3 to 6 miles below seal level), with a few reaching a magnitude-3.

Hawaiʻi island often sees earthquake clusters in the areas of Kīlauea and Mauna Loa, but rarely on the flanks of Maunakea. The USGS Alert Level for Maunakea is NORMAL and showing no signs of eruption.
