Over the past 30 days, Hawaii has recorded 31 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater in our tracker. 1 landed between M4.0 and M4.9. The remaining 30 fell in the M2.5–M3.9 band. By depth: 31 shallow (<70 km). 19 of the epicenters were offshore. 22 events produced at least one felt report, totalling 687 citizen submissions to the USGS Did You Feel It? system. Focal depths ranged from 0.5 km to 49.7 km. 30 of the 31 solutions have been reviewed by a USGS seismologist; the remaining 1 are automatic and may be refined.
