Mauna Loa on Friday offered up a prodding reminder that it very much remains an active volcano capable of unleashing as much, or more, damage as its neighbor, Kilauea.

A 4.1-magnitude earthquake that originated deep below the western flank of the 13,861-foot colossus shook Hawaii island Friday morning.

The 7:44 a.m. temblor was felt across the island, as 130 people responded to the U.S. Geological Service’s “Did you feel it?” survey within an hour afterward. A couple of aftershocks followed.
