Magnitude-5.0 quake rattles Hawaii island, sends ash plume skyward

It was recorded at 10:30 a.m. HST, roughly 4.3 miles southeast of Volcano. It was initially reported as a magnitude-4.4 quake.

 

The U.S. Geological Survey's "Did you feel it?" website received more than 500 felt reports from around the island within an hour after the quake.

 

The USGS' Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) says ground shaking from the quake caused rockfalls and possibly additional collapse into the Puu Oo crater on Kilauea Volcano's East Rift Zone.

 

A short-lived plume of ash lofted skyward and slowly dissipated as it drifted southwest. Anyone downwind may have experienced a dusting of ash.
