Two strong earthquakes struck south of Hawaii’s Big Island on Sunday. Weirdly, the USGS homepage only lists and shows one!
The first earthquake, with a magnitude of 6.1, shook the island around noon, landing about 17 miles south of the southern tip of the Big Island, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
A second earthquake, which had a magnitude of 6.2, struck about 20 minutes later in the same area.
Almost 2,000 residents reported feeling the earthquake to the USGS. Honolulu’s National Weather Service said there is no tsunami threat from the quakes.
Here some reports:
Not the biggest I have been through; intense shaking in the middle of it..no sound of breaking glass..it just m reminds us how small we really are…ultimately humbling.
The whole house rumbled it scared the dog LOL.
Enough to move me horizontal in my chair, physically noticed objects move. Lasted about 5 seconds then could feel light aftershocks for 5 to 10 seconds more.
I was outside when I heard the rumbles and got shaken enough to lose my balance momentarily. My geese honked and ran. The cat is gone. Items fell down in the house, pictures became crooked.
Inside house. Walls shook. Fish tank needed to be held. Heard things in house “rumble”.
Strong sudden shake in ţall post home second floor. My vision followed the distinct house movement. Posts and house creaked. Trees shuddered. Water sloshing out of catchment tank. Back and forth motion at least 6 times. Biggest eq I’ve ever felt.
Historical earthquakes in the area
Within the past century, there have been 15 other earthquakes with a magnitude of six or above within 62 miles of the Oct. 10 quake.
No injuries have been reported, but the quakes were strong enough to cause items to fall off shelves.
Any link to Kilauea volcanic eruption?
The earthquakes come after Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano, one of the most active on Earth, erupted again last month, forming lava fountains and sending smoke billowing from the crater at its summit.
The eruption at the Halemaumau crater appeared to be contained within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and posed no threat to homes in the area, USGS officials said.
Ken Hon, a scientist-in-charge at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, explained that the earthquake is not linked to the Kilauea volcano eruption. [USA Today]

I live near Pahoa on the big island. Only 1 quake, NO second quake.
There was no second quake. I live 18 miles from the epicenter and the first quake was very apparent. I was waiting for a second and never felt it. I was on guard the rest of the day. I think the “scientists” have no idea what causes earthquakes personally, and that it definitely IS linked to the lava moving upon the earth as Hell enlarges itself. “Scientists” don’t believe in Hell or creation for that matter so they will never get it right.
“Scientists” have discovered, that people will believe anything if they say “scientists” have discovered it.
God bless
Ok, well that solves the mystery.?

Here’s what happens when two very different respiratory viruses infect the same cell – new study
I was Muslim , I was deceived by Ayatollahs now i am free and Christian.
I support Donald Trump for 2024 indeed. I am hoping he make all mandatory vaccines CXL them and he get to bottom of Fauci and others must be punished. No to Vaccines now. Islam ruined my life for over 70 years? Ask me why?
Amen my new good brother in the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ! The Lord will be with you always!
??
Why?
I like the way the guy in the first video ran away leaving the younger one behind. Ain’t my kind of acquaintance. Can’t tell the age of the first guy to run.
Looked like he was leading him to the safe spot. Kid followed him. He probaby said, oh shjt, earthquake. Head for the doorway over here.
Lol
No, clearly he was saving his own skin.
I DID PREDICTED IT MY PROPHECY. Fe-mine is coming to all over world and global UN martial law any doubts.
Famine was the goal. Starve the 3rd world off their land, and go buy it up cheap. Get the resources.
Seems to be historically what happens. Also during disasters those so called charities go over and do bad things. Like in Hati. Stealing children that are not orphans, and raping the kids too. Probably eating them, and drinking their blood. I wouldn’t doubt it. That’s what happens to illegal alien children.
Hmmm, see the animals (geese, dogs, missing cat) alerted. Probably is related to recent volcanic activity.
Time to for sport fishing for some ahi, and mahi mahi.
If the second earthquake was 6.2, then that was not an aftershock.
Why not report that second earthquake? Very suspicious.
Alaska reports 6.9 mag. Supposedly an aftershock to the 8.2 mag in August. NFI.
