Hawaii quake likely not volcanic Posted on   Citation: Sever, M., 2021, Hawai’i quake likely not volcanic, Temblor, http://doi.org/10.32858/temblor.186   When earthquakes strike the Big Island of Hawai’i, most people assume they’re related to magma movement beneath Kīlauea or Mauna Loa, the twoo active volcanic centers. But occasionally, earthquakes can surprise us. That’s what happened with the magnitude-5.2 quake that struck on July 5 north of the Waipi’o Valley, far from both volcanoes. Shaking was felt all over the island and throughout the Hawaiian Island chain, including 160 miles (about 260 kilometers) away in Honolulu and even in Kaua’i. No tsunami warning was issued, and none occurred. No damage or injuries have been reported.
