HAWAII REPORT: Talking about USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) |
![]() |
This is a display of the seismogram for a seismometer on Hualalai volcano south of the earthquake epicenters. While much of the signal is off scale, you can see both main shocks as well as the lack of earthquakes before and the immediate increase in earthquakes (aftershocks) after the main events. | large image | |
Over 80 aftershocks with magnitudes greater than 1.7 were recorded in the first 24 hours after the quake. The largest was a magnitude 4.2 that occurred at 10:35 AM HST on October 15. Like the second earthquake, preliminary locations for most of the aftershocks placed them at depths less than 20 km.
These earthquakes were felt statewide but most strongly in the North Kona and Kohala areas (http://pasadena.wr.usgs.gov/shake/hi/). The shaking was strong enough to cause power generators to trip offline in Hawai'i, Maui, and O'ahu counties. Damage was reported mostly on the west side of Hawai'i island but also on Maui and O'ahu. There were no reported fatalities.
The first earthquake was the largest recorded in Hawai'i Island since the M6.7 under the east flank of Mauna Loa on November 16, 1983. The only two larger earthquakes were a M7.2 that occurred beneath Kilauea's South Flank on November 29, 1975 and an estimated M7.9 that occurred beneath the southeast flank of Mauna Loa on April 2, 1868.
The most recent earthquakes were unusual for this area of Hawai'i Island. Prior to October 15, a M4.8 quake on May 14, 1982 was the largest of thirty-one earthquakes with a magnitude greater than 4.0 that have been recorded by our modern seismic network since its inception in 1960.
The quakes did not affect the behavior of any nearby active volcanoes - Hualalai, Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea, and Haleakala. Kilauea volcano continues to erupt from the Pu'u 'O'o vent.
The earthquakes probably reflect the earth's response to loading by the islands. Preliminary analyses show a possible east-west slip plane and a similar orientation to the clustering of aftershocks. Further examination of all available data should shed some light on this most interesting and destructive seismic event.

== PRELIMINARY EARTHQUAKE REPORT == Version #4: This report supersedes any earlier reports of this event.
U.S. Geological Survey, Hawaiian Volcano Observatory
This event has been reviewed by a seismologist.
This earthquake was felt throughout the island of Hawai`i. Also felt in parts of Maui, Moloka`i and O`ahu.
A light earthquake occurred at 10:08:35 PM (HST) on Monday, July 25, 2005 .
The magnitude 4.5 event occurred 9 km (6 miles) SW of Kilauea Summit.
The hypocentral depth is 30 km (19 miles).
For more information, see http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/
Puna resident Petra Wiesenbauer was sitting in front of her computer yesterday morning when she heard rumbling sounds.
A 5.2-magnitude earthquake shook her windows and rattled the floorboards for about five seconds. Quakes might be a common occurrence in Puna, but the natural phenomena still startle her.
"It's kind of eerie," said Wiesenbauer, who owns and operates Hale Makamae Bed and Breakfast in Puna.
This is the second 5.2-magnitude undersea earthquake to occur off the Big Island in the last few days. The quake occurred at 9:15 a.m. yesterday and was centered about 15 miles west-southwest of Loihi, or about 20 miles south-southeast of Naalehu, at a depth of 18 miles, according to Jim Kauahikaua, scientist-in-charge at the U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.
Three days ago a moderate 5.2-magnitude earthquake occurred about five miles below sea level and was centered about 30 miles north-northeast of Ookala. No damage was reported.
Yesterday's quake was also considered moderate, Kauahikaua said. There were no reports of damage.
Kauahikaua said the quake occurred under Loihi, the youngest volcano in the Hawaiian chain, located south of Kilauea. Many residents in most of the Big Island as well as parts of Oahu and Maui felt the quake.
Lanny Nakano, acting administrator for the Hawaii County Civil Defense, said he received about a dozen phone calls from residents in Waimea and Puna. "They did feel a large jolt. Some said it was a rolling effect," Nakano said.
On Oahu, police and fire received some calls. Several residents in Kailua, Salt Lake and Waialae Nui also reported that they felt the quake.
Pat Weaver, caretaker of an 8,500-square-foot home at Aha Maka Way along Waialae Nui Ridge, said, "It felt like someone was rocking the house."
Dispatchers at the Maui Police Department received many calls from residents of the quake.
Kauahikaua said the two earthquakes are the largest recorded quakes to occur in the Loihi area since a 4.9-magnitude quake occurred on Sept. 13, 2001, and the scores of quakes during a seismic swarm accompanying a possible Loihi eruption that occurred in July 1996.

Earthquakes in Hawai`i
Many other earthquakes, including the largest ones, occur in areas of structural weakness at the base of Hawai`i's volcanoes or deep within the Earth's crust beneath the island. These are referred to as tectonic earthquakes. In the past 150 years, several strong tectonic earthquakes (magnitude 6 to 8) caused extensive damage to roads, buildings, and homes, triggered local tsunami, and resulted in loss of life. The most destructive earthquake in Hawai`i's history occurred on April 2, 1868, when 81 people lost their lives. With a magnitude of 7.9 and a maximum intensity of XII, this destructive earthquake destroyed more than a hundred homes and generated a 15-m high tsunami along Kilauea's south coast.

It's Not On The Map, Yet! ...As It Occured At Approximately, 12:07 A.M., Friday The 13th of May, 2005!
But, This One WILL Make The News!!!
Based On The Other Earthquakes That, I Have Felt Here, I Estimate It To Be In The 4.5 To 5.0 Range!
Here's How I Described It On Earthquake Felt Report Form...
"There Was a Small One, Like Heavy Wind Impacting The Side of Our House Then, a Few Seconds Passed, & Definitely a Big Shake, Rumble Like Rolling Downhill!"
