Over the past 30 days, Hawaii has recorded 38 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater in our tracker. 3 landed between M4.0 and M4.9. The remaining 35 fell in the M2.5–M3.9 band. By depth: 37 shallow (<70 km), 1 intermediate (70–300 km). 25 of the epicenters were offshore. 22 events produced at least one felt report, totalling 1,754 citizen submissions to the USGS Did You Feel It? system. Focal depths ranged from 0.3 km to 122.3 km. 36 of the 38 solutions have been reviewed by a USGS seismologist; the remaining 2 are automatic and may be refined.
Leading the list is a magnitude 4.7 event near 23 km E of Pāpa‘ikou, Hawaii at 39.2 km depth, which drew 912 felt reports from the public and triggered a green PAGER alert. The second-ranked event, at magnitude 4.5 near 17 km SE of Pāhala, Hawaii, trails by 0.2 magnitude units — a narrow gap, indicating two comparably energetic events in the current window. Rounding out the top three is a magnitude 4.1 earthquake near 18 km SE of Pāhala, Hawaii.
