On the evening of May 19, 2023, a 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck near Honaunau-Napoopoo on Hawaii's Big Island, causing alarm among residents and experts alike. The quake was felt as far away as Oahu, over 150 miles from the epicenter. Fortunately, no casualties or significant infrastructure damage were reported, and the earthquake is not expected to trigger a tsunami. However, the US Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory has raised concerns about the nearby Kilauea volcano, which has been erupting episodically since December 2024. Experts forecast a potential eruption between May 24 and May 27, with visible smoke and lava glow observed. Residents described their experiences during the quake as 'like something out of a movie,' with one local recounting how her mother shielded her child from falling debris. The seismic activity is expected to continue, with tremors likely to be felt in the coming days. Hawaii's geological activity is notable, as it is home to six active volcanoes, including Kilauea, which has a history of deadly eruptions.
