Earthquakes Shake Communities in California and Hawaii
A magnitude 4.0 earthquake struck roughly five miles east of Gilroy, California, early in the morning, startling nearby residents but causing no immediate reports of serious damage.
Meanwhile, in Hawaii, a separate 4.6 magnitude quake was recorded on the southern side of Kilauea Volcano, one of the world’s most active volcanic sites. Authorities are monitoring both regions for potential aftershocks.
Local officials in California noted that the quake serves as a reminder for residents to remain prepared, especially in seismically active areas near the San Andreas Fault. In Hawaii, geologists confirmed that the quake was related to ongoing underground activity beneath Kilauea but did not indicate an eruption.
“These moderate quakes are typical for both regions, though they can still be felt widely and cause minor shaking,” said a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) spokesperson.
Emergency officials in both states are continuing to assess impacts and gather data, though initial evaluations suggest minimal structural damage and no major disruptions.
Author’s summary: Two moderate earthquakes—one near Gilroy, California, and another near Kilauea, Hawaii—shook residents but caused no significant damage, prompting routine safety checks.
