HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A 5.1-magnitude earthquake shook Hawaii Island on Friday morning and caused minor property damage in Pahala, authorities said.

“On several occasions, large earthquakes have preceded past eruptions of Mauna Loa, though these have typically been larger than today’s earthquakes. HVO said the area would be closed until further notice. Hundreds of people as far away as Oahu reported feeling the temblors. It is not known at this time if this sequence of earthquakes is directly related to the ongoing unrest on Mauna Loa.” Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists said the tremors appear to be related to readjustments along the southeast flank of Mauna Loa, and come as authorities have been monitoring Both were centered south of Pahala ― near the southeastern flank of Mauna Loa ― with the larger one at a depth of 4.6 miles.

[Volcano Watch](https://www.usgs.gov/observatories/hvo/volcano-watch) is a weekly article and activity update written by U.S. This elevated seismic activity is accompanied by slight ground inflation (or swelling), which suggests that the Mauna Loa magma reservoir is filling. This event was much shallower (less than 9 miles or 15 kilometers) and was likely related to magma moving through the Kīlauea plumbing system at the start of the 2018 lower East Rift Zone eruption. Three of them were deep (greater than 12 miles or 20 kilometers) and likely the result of the stresses brought forth by the Hawaiian Islands sitting on top of the Pacific plate.

Mauna Loa is not erupting and remains at Volcano Alert Level ADVISORY, according to the HVO’s latest update. The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reports that this past week, about 320 small-magnitude earthquakes were recorded below the summit and upper elevation flanks of Mauna Loa. The majority of felt reports came from the Kailua-Kona, Hilo, Volcano, and Nāʻālehu areas of Hawaiʻi Island. There were about 20 felt responses within the first 15 minutes of the earthquake recorded by the USGS Did You Feel It? - Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, 214.9 miles NW - Kailua-Kona, Hawaiʻi, 48.3 miles NW The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center and the Hawaiʻi Emergency Management Agency both report that there is no tsunami threat following the quake. - Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, 213.4 miles NW It was followed by a larger 5.0 earthquake just south of Pāhala that was 4.6 miles beneath Highway 11, according to scientists with the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. - Kailua-Kona, Hawaiʻi, 46.8 miles NW “On several occassions large earthquakes have preceded past eruptions of Mauna Loa, though these have typically been larger than today’s earthquakes. Most of the aftershocks were 3.0 or smaller, but there were some larger ones up to magnitude-4.0 at 9:16 a.m.

“The unrest is likely caused by renewed input of magma into Mauna Loa’s summit reservoir system.” The larger quake was centered about 4 miles west of Pahala at a depth of 4.5 miles, USGS said.

"Mauna Loa is not erupting, and there are no signs of an imminent eruption at this time. The USGS said increased seismic activity, changes in the terrain and emissions of volcanic gases would be the precursor to any future eruption. However, Mauna Loa continues to be in a state of heightened unrest as indicated by increased earthquake activity and inflation of the summit," An advisory indicates that a volcano is showing signs of unrest and the alert can be upped to either a watch or warning if the potential for an eruption increases. Due to the increased seismic activity around Mauna Loa, the USGS has issued a yellow advisory alert for the volcano. Mauna Loa is the world’s largest volcano and is one of five that make up the Aloha State.

“This sequence of earthquakes appears to be related to readjustments along the southeast flank of Mauna Loa volcano,” the observatory said. It is not known at this time if this sequence of earthquakes is directly related to the ongoing unrest on Mauna Loa.” “Shaking from the larger earthquakes may have been strong enough to do minor local damage, especially to older buildings,” the observatory's statement said. “It was a little scary.” Hawaii County Mayor Mitch Roth said there were no immediate reports of major damage or injuries. The first one was slightly offshore and south of the town of Pahala, followed by the larger quake just south of Pahala beneath a highway, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said in a statement.
