Hawaii is Shaking: 200+ Earthquakes Rattle the Aloha State
The Aloha State of Hawaii is shaking quite a bit lately; according to USGS, there have been 219 earthquakes there over the last 7 days, all of which have been on or around the Big Island of Hawaii. Hawaii Island is the largest of the island chain and is also the most volcanically active; the island is home to the active Hualalai, Mauna Loa, and Kilauea Volcanoes. No volcano is erupting on the island, but the seismicity may be an indicator that could change.
The USGS has the Alert Level set to “Advisory” and the Color Code to “Yellow” at Kilauea Volcano, indicative of the seismic activity there.
