130 small quakes detected near Kilauea summit
A swarm of over 130 small, shallow earthquakes that occurred Thursday and Friday on Kilauea signals neither an imminent threat of an eruption nor a large quake, the U.S. Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory announced Friday afternoon.
“We’re not expecting any intrusion or any eruption based on all the data streams we see, but in terms of earthquakes, we really can’t say,” said David Phillips, USGS HVO acting scientist-in-charge. “We can’t really rule it out.”
At times there have been earthquakes after swarms, but not at other times, he said.
